Happy Easter 2010



Happy Easter to you from us!

- Easter Egg Hunt - CHECK!
- Visit Easter Bunny - CHECK! (kind of a fluke he was at the outdoor mall today - I didn't even know he visited malls - kind of strange, but Rachel loved him)
- Take Easter Pictures - CHECK! (although I couldn't get a good smile, just mostly funny faces)

We went with Lore, Mandy and all the kids up the road 5 minutes to the riverbank to take some Easter photos. It was a little stressful with nice outfits in a dirty environment, but a lot of fun too. They even let me take some pictures of their kids with my camera (I'm still learning!). And I think they turned out great! Hope you girls don't mind I'm posting pics of your darling kids and some of Rachel's closest friends.

The group (minus Rachel and I) - I love that mountain in the background!

Mandy's boys - Asher, Jett & Rex (love those outfits!)

Rex & Jett

Asher - can't get enough of that face!

Lore's little girl, Macie

Lore's boy, Dalan

Side story: Rachel loves her friends and cousins and talks about them constantly. I know that she's not the best sharer yet and that she doesn't always play nice with them, but she really cares about them and is always good to give them (and their moms) big hugs! Today, we went to the outdoor mall to meet Kasey, but more important to Rachel that she got to see Kasey's boys, Cooper and Cole. We were walking towards each other, but still pretty far away. Cooper and Rachel started sprinting towards each other and met in the middle with a giant hug (I thought they were going to knock each other over!). It wasn't prompted by us at all and I just thought it was SO sweet. I just love Rachel's friends and their moms!

How cute! I love the faces Rachel has going on in your Easter card. Adorable and so fun. Isn't it great when your kid's favorite people are the kids of your friends.

What a cute Easter post Whit. I love how you made a little easter card of Rachel....I love all her cute faces, you got some really great shots of everyone....What a fun little afternoon "down by the river" Kids always keep you on your toes and things never turn out quite as planned, just better : ) I am so thankful for our friendship and the fun times we share together. Thanks again for the wonderful cd of pics. I cherish them, what a sweet gesture, so thoughtful. Love ya!
