My Darling Dancer

Here are a few of Mylie's dance photos this year. I love all the darling costumes, and of course the darling little girl wearing them! She LOVES to dance :)

Easter Sunday 2014

On Easter we had our little traditional hunt at our house in the morning before church, then the kids got dressed up in their Sunday best.

I always try to take the same shot every year so I can see how the kids grow through the years. So here it is, in front of the couch with Easter goodies and messy hair. So fun to add Nora to the group this year! Can't believe next Easter she'll be running around with the others :)

This kiddo is a nut, I tell ya. He loved his bow-tie. I think his outfit was a little old man-ish.

She is such a tenderhearted, sweetie.

Easter Saturday 2014

We had a wonderful "Easter Saturday" with the traditional egg hunt and pinatas in my grandparents' beautiful yard. I'll let the pictures help tell the story of the day~

Getting ready and lining up:

(The picture with Mylie's pinata hat is a little out of order. The kids usually try to find pieces of the broken pinatas for awesome hats that they always beg to keep...
I have the prettiest nieces! I can't believe how grown up they all are getting!

Gathering around for the pinata.  I just love Mylie holding hands with Coy.

Turn around and smile!

Fun to watch how the kiddos grow through the years. Coy was too busy chewing candy to smile.

I love these pictures! Here are all of my parents' grandkids! Not a single one is missing!

More sugar to end the event. Isn't my grandparents' yard just beautiful?

Family picture! Are those really all my kids? I guess I have the receding hair line to prove it! (Side note: I always lose a lot of hair after I have a baby. This is when I was at my "baldest." I truly get a receding hairline! I look like Russ :) Now it is growing back in and I just have patches of short hair bordering my hair line. It is lovely! Good thing the babies are worth it!

More sugar. Love the fly-aways in Mylie's hair.

And I know I've said it before, but I LOVE those freckles!
