here’s some easter pictures like i promised. nothing crazy good … just normal pictures. and it’s just my girls. no other kids at our egg hunts … no cousins to share with or fight over who found too many.

and it’s just my girls. no other kids at our egg hunts … no cousins to share with. and this year i got some glow-in-the-dark eggs … thinking that would be a different challenge for them. but we didn’t want to wait until it was dark … joe had to go to work. i’m sure they’ll try them out in the house.

every time someone would say "i see one from here" … they would run over and stand by that person to check out their view. here they are looking at papa and jenny’s view.

with dad and uncle scott … they’re trying to figure out where they hid the last few. we’ve learned to always count how many eggs there are … never fails that we have a few hard ones that we just can’t find.

can you see the bathing suits peeking out from under their clothes? yes, they were ready. and i have no idea why sarah is wearing black for easter?!?! lol! i didn’t even notice to be honest. as soon as the last egg was found … they tore off their clothes and were ready to swim.

i didn’t get a good shot of them both making the first jump of the year together … i had my 85mm lens on and couldn’t zoom out … and i was at the other end of the pool.

not great shots … but you get the idea, right! and look at the look on sarah’s face … she is such the fish and has definately missed her water!

Img_9105_edit_resize

yeah, not as warm as they make you believe. the weather was gorgeous. but the water … a little on the chilly side at 62 degrees!

and they both used some old swimsuits that were laying around grammy and papa’s house. this year i am determined to get some fun, colorful swimsuits for them … since i see them in them so much. something to match some fun scrapbook stuff, right? lol!

and joe … the keeper of the towels for when they decided they were freezing and couldn’t take it any longer.

that’s about it. i know i said i would draw a name tonight for the making memories goodies. but i’m going to wait until the  morning to do it … along with some updates on my albums re-organization. and a heads up to anyone looking for some 12×12 albums … i have some that i’m considering changing out. so check back tomorrow for the winner!

    Ahh, I can’t believe your kids were in the pool. I am so jealous! It was 47 degrees in Mass and we were happy! We were able to have the egg hunt outside at least!

    Looks like they had the perfect Easter with swimming and all. Our pool is still way to cold for them to be in it (just one of the down sides to having a very large pool) But I am sure they will be in it soon enough.

    Poor babies, they even look cold in the pics. I was just about to comment on how I wish the weather was warm enough here for swimming, until I scrolled down a bit. Although it is suppose to be in the 80’s today! Just wish it wasn’t so windy. Looks like you all had a great Easter though.
