Easter Sunday

We had a lovely Easter Sunday that started off by the girls' waking up to an Easter egg hunt & baskets compliments of the Easter Bunny. :) Off to Sunday School with the big girls where we had another egg hunt, more candy & watched, "Twas the Night before Easter."  Church service was beautiful, amazing music & singing... but the little girls' had other interests and they were NOT on church.  ;) After we survived,  we decided against trying to get a family photo, and Chris promised he'd help me try and get a picture of the girls together... so here's our attempts.  And not to be fooled! It was crazy windy, but we took these right behind our garage/shed & avoided most of it. :)

So here we are, Easter 2012 - Lauren almost 7, Lindsay 5-8mo, Lydia 2-5mo & LeaAnn 13mo

And... little girls' still have their own agenda, so I turn to easy subjects :)

2 big girls who LOVE to have their picture taken :)  Show 'em how it's done 1&2!

Adore this one...

And the following series is just too precious to reject any, so I included them all.

"Let me kiss you, Lindsay!"

true Lindsay face :)

'Lauren & Lindsay' captured on camera :) (Mom was proud of herself this time ;)

And NOW Small-sy decides it might be OK to join in...

love her tongue out here...

that's Shamus in the background (neighbors sweet dog who I wish we could keep!)

kept this one to show off their hair...

3 out of the 4...

will the 4th cooperate?  Shena will ;)

Good as it gets for the Beyer girls' Easter 2012... but we tried :)

"All done!" LeaAnn says, after Lydia runs off.

Dad says, "here you go..."

And we're off again :) Love Lauren's face here.

Lydia's escape plan; to be like Wiam!

"hey! where'd she go?"

Love her curl in the back...

"I'm done! How many times do I have to tell you people?!"

"Oh smile, Wiam!!"

"Get away from me!" :)

Chris attempting to coral the troops...

Big girls' posing again...

Down & out!

just for the record ;)

I just love this picture. It reminded me of another favorite...

Can you guess who's cute butt this is?!?  Lindsay Rae at 23months, July 2008. I'm going to have to find the original photo and see what editing will do :)

Think I really like it in sepia...

This was Chris' idea, and it worked out great! Except for my 'off' camera settings, but b/w looks good too.

LeaAnn is 1/2 way smiling ;)

And look who is now smiling for the camera on Que?!?

Cutie-pie

Was fun to play around with the sky... play around with all the pictures actually. It was a glorious day all around.  Chris & I continue to count our blessings and thank God everyday for our health, children, family & friends. Hope everyone had a Happy Easter too!
