Easter 2012

Easter morning the children jumped out of bed and quickly found the basket filled with yummy treats.

We all dressed for church, and had our customary holiday photo shoot, one filled with many many outtakes.

 

For lunch we had a potluck with some of our friends, and one of our dishes were these cute little fellows!

Aren't they sweet! 

Little Easter chickies!

Their are creative deviled eggs, with olive bit eyes and carrot shred noses.

One of the non-edible goodies the kids received in their basket was, finger paint. Sparkly finger paint.

The boys had a lot of fun creating some Easter masterpieces.

My sister got a hold of my camera, and managed to get quite a few beautiful shots of the lovely Easter bouquet my brother gave my mom.

 

She's  a little pro!

first forest visit of the year

The sun was shining and the day was warm, so we headed out into the wilderness to play games of wonder and make believe.

The landscape was different. Winter had rearranged the furniture of the forest, decorating the scene with a new colour scheme.

There were mysteries to solve, fairies to find, and frogs to catch(even though promises were made that our little green friends would still be sleeping, regardless a certain someone was able to catch at least one ).

There is something magical about being able to see through branches that once held so much colour they obstructed any view other than a green and leafy scene.

baking

Hi there!
So, I'm sorry for neglecting this blog, mostly because it's basically my family's scrap book. I will posting pictures from events that happened in my absense.

To entertain you for now, here is a little something for you veiwing pleasure.

I'm part of a collaboration channel on youtube with 4 other girls. I post videos every Friday, and this past week was baking week.
I had to bake something, and as per my life, my siblings attacked and everything went to crazy. Nothing new here.

Finger Painting Fun

When we pull out the finger paints, everyone gets a little artistic!

The littlest artist!

Christmas

This Christmas I didn't have my camera out that much, but I can assure you that we all had a wonderful time!

Christmas eve, we got ready to go to a candle lit service and as always we got a couple shots of us kids.

 

All dressed up!

We each opened one present Christmas eve, went to church, and then after we had a bunch of lovely people come over and it was lovely.

Christmas morning we all got up, opened our stockings and went to chruch!

After church we spent the rest of the day opening presents and enjoying eachother.

The boys both got tool boxes, and enjoyed playing and building with those!

Thanksgiving Sunday

This Thanksgiving long weekend was gorgeous.

The sun was shining, and the air was warm, so we decided to take advantage of this and go for a walk in the woods.

A different woods than usual.

As soon as we got there the Superhero was climbing on the rocks and having a great time.

I got distracted by the pretty spider-webs.

The kids found a goldfish swimming against the current.

At first we just thought it was was bright orange leaf, but I guess it was a pet that someone let loose in the stream.

The Superhero did try to catch it... but it was too fast and slippery.

It was such a pretty area!

Mommy and the Baby(who is getting FAR to grown up, and is needing another hair-cutting party).

One of the kids spotted this wasp nest, which was far far FAR above our heads.

Zoom is a lovely thing.

After our first little bit there, we went into full cuteness photo-shoot mode.

They are too CUTE!

The Princess always has the perfect poses and photo ideas in mind.

Superhero stance!

Dad had to get in on some pictures too.

And of course I get distracted....

The little critter hopped right on to the Princesses shoe!

It is a cute shoe.

Maybe not the best choice of a trek in the woods... but at least they look good.

I was there too!

I always have to take a few selfies to prove it.

My little model posing in a tree.

We stuck the Baby in a tree too.

Such a sweetie!

All of us little monkeys up in the tree.

(The Baby is starting to look like he wants to get down).

It was a PREFECT Thanksgiving Sunday spent wandering through the woods with the family!
