My adorable family

Today was the first time I put Olivia in the cart without her carseat. To say she was giddy would be an understatement. The picture is a little blurry because I couldn't get her to be still long enough! She loved it! It was like a whole new world had just opened up to her.

What a good looking family on Easter morning!

Getting all 3 to look and cooperate at the same time was...well, difficult to say the least. I guess I need to become a master at photo shop and just crop them all in the same picture together at their best. This was the best of them all. For the first time my girls had matching dresses and I have to say I think it was the most fun I ever had shopping! (I'm actually not a big shopper.) Hailey LOVED the fact that they had the same dress. Of course Micah told me he didn't like his tie but his father wouldn't let me buy the pink one I thought would complete the whole ensemble. (A 5 year old boy can pull off a pink tie in my opinion!)

Who doesn't like a new dress for Easter? It was at least a good excuse for me to buy new dresses...for them...can't remember the last time I bought me clothes! They are cuter anyway!


I tried to put the biased mom aside but I couldn't. Have you ever seen a more beautiful child? The camera just doesn't do her justice. And not to brag (ok, just a little) but I have people stop me all the time to tell me just how adorable Olivia is. Maybe it's the red hair or blue eyes or dimples...or maybe just the whole combination but she really is quite stunning!

Beautiful Easter pictures! I love the matching dresses. It makes me want a girl (just a little). :) I LOVE when the babies can go in the cart without the car seat! It's so much easier to leave the seat in the car and not have to lug it in and out of the store. Beautiful family, adorable kids, Sarah!

Olivia is beautiful, but all of your children are, just like their mom!! I love the matching dresses. You are a cute mom! I can tell you adore your children just like you should! And I think for mother's day you should buy yourself a dress! :) Love ya!

So cute! Olivia is so old!!! Can she come play at my house for a while? She is precious. Can't wait to see her again. I love the dresses too. And by the way, I am with you...I love a boy in a pink tie :)

Your kids look so cute in their easter outfits! I would have gone for the pink tie though!

Cute, cute dresses, Sarah! I love them. And yes, Olivia is adorable - it's not just you (though I think all us mothers are perfectly justified in being biased and bragging). I don't shop for myself either - would much rather shop for the boys and they aren't half as much fun to shop for as girls, I'm sure! I'm going to be better at commenting - I've read almost all your posts since the beginning and I really am going to start commenting on every post I read going forward. I love how you started your blog with some history on how you and Eric met - I'd never heard that story - and the background on your family. Great idea - I may steal it :) Great Easter post.
