Easter morning 2013. After church

It was nothing short of an Easter miracle that I got Ellie Sue to wear white ruffle socks and white dress shoes.
And not to mention a white bow and a matchy matchy dress.  Seriously... that is SOMETHING!!
But really, now... can you say C.U.T.E!!?

We even got ol dad to get in on the photo opp with us.  We stopped somebody in the parking lot at church and snapped this.  It was our only family photo of Easter 2013!!

And then when we got back home from church, I convinced everyone to get to the back porch for a few more pics.

After all, Easter and getting all matched and such only happens once a year!  And I had to remember it!
Gabbi had her usually berry colored lipstick on!


And the girls just thought it was hysterical to make faces for the camera.
What can I say?  You can't win em all!


And even though they are being weird, I  kind of like all these funny faces.
I think Ellie looks like she is straight outta WHoville in this one.





Oh yeaH?!  Two can play at that game!  Here goes mama's funny pics!



I usuallly can't take too many pictures without this little angel insisting on getting in on the action, on my shoulder, lying on my chest, or kissing me.


WE got a few cute ones.  Maybe I can convince jessi to help me change the cover photo on my blog with one of these!  Do you have a vote on which one?!  She has to do all that computery stuff.
DO you realize that when I was in college, we had a single computer class where we had to memorize what F2, F4, F1, etc meant?!  That is all I remember about that class.  And yet, we were just sort of grandfathered into the digital age.  And it was assumed that we knew all about computers.
Welll, wrong information!  Thank goodness I tend to hire younger people.  They help keep my 'puter stuff in order!

I was the most excited that I FINALLY got to put on my white jeans, AND my tan wedges!!
Spring has sprung!


And we are just so glad that it sprang EARLY in West Monroe !
Let me know one or two of your fave pics!  Night night, y'all!

Easter Morning 2013

So here my girlies are on Easter morning.  Nevermind the cute matching gowns that we have done every year thus far.  (I mean, it had to end sometime, right?!)
Nah.... Gabs just went on and slept in one of my vee neck tees!  ha.

But, here they are following the trails to all of their goodies from the Easter bunny.
Miss Fashion is pretty happy thus far.
And a maxi dress.  And gladiator sandals.  And trefoil print leggings.  Yessssss.
And then she found this "big girl" dress and some high heels.  She was ready for church... or so she THOUGHT!!
Gabs would be perfectly content with a couple of suckers and a pack of gum.  She is EASY BREEZY when it comes to being materialistic.
Ellie was doing pretty well following the tape clues!
I thought this was the CUTEST.  The New York peplum shirt and a tiered mini skirt.  She appears to love it.  But to this day, she has refused to wear either of them every day since Easter.  She is NOT so easy to please!
More than likely the only way I could get her to wear it is to lay it out for gabbi to wear.  I did that tonight.  I chose something from Ellie's closet that she absolutely hates ( a dress and a pair of moccasins) and laid it out for Gabbi.  As soon as she saw it, she started throwing a fit, saying,"That's MINE!  I want to wear that tomorrow!!".  Now, understand, I have been trying to get her to wear those moccasins just about everyday since fall!  And she's consistently refused!  Until she thought Gabs was going to wear them!  That kid is something else.
Speaking of something else... look at these high heels they had at PayLess.  They are the cutest.  Miss Sassy also thought these were going to be on her feet at church that morning.  Ummmm... NO!

And they both got new make up kits, so all was well in the world!
It was a pretty successful Easter morning.  And it's kind of weird to be this behind on blogging that I feel the need to recount a morning from a month ago!
I'm gonna do better!  Okie dokie.  Off to beddy bye!
