Easter 2011

Today we woke up to snow!!! Can you believe it? We had such a beautiful winter and now we are getting snow. Luckily, it didn't stick on the ground and didn't cover the eggs that the Easter Bunny left us outside.

When Emma was first placed with us, my friend, Mare gave her a beautiful purple dress. She wore it on her first Easter. I, of course, bought Braxton a matching shirt and tie that year. They looked so cute. Last year, her dress was white with little pink flowers, I bought Braxton a pink tie to match. Again, so cute. I bought Emma's dress first again this year, knowing that I would buy the dress and then buy a matching shirt or tie for Braxton (it's all about the dress, afterall). Well, this year, Braxton informed me that he didn't want to match his sister because wearing the pink tie last year was too embarrassing. He was a good sport and let me buy him a nice Easter-y green tie. There is a little flower on Emma's dress that has a green left that matched Braxton's tie. See, we all win.

I tried to take a nice picture of the kids in their Easter outfits, but it didn't work out so well. Emma was a little too hopped up on sugar and wouldn't cooperate. They did look very cute today and ate way too much candy.

Oh and here's a special shout out to the Easter Bunny for not bringing any of my favorite candies this year so that I can stay on the wagon. Thanks Easter Bunny!!! (I miss you Cadbury Mini Eggs and Starburst Jelly Beans xoxoxo)
