Easter Clothes

There is nothing that I love more than Easter clothes.  I love getting my kids ready in matching clothes on Easter Sunday.  Then, I line them up and make them pose for pictures (usually, against their will).  I have such high expectations that I am always disappointed in my pictures.

This year, Easter Sunday fell on our church's General Conference.  The conference is televised from Salt Lake.  This means that we can stay home and watch it in our pj's.  I love General Conference, but I was sad that we wouldn't be getting dressed up in our new spring attire.  On the following Sunday, I made the kids get dressed up, and I took them outside for their "Easter" pictures.  Yes, that is the kind of mom I am.  Just ask my kids!

We were rushing to get them taken, so we wouldn't be late for church.  Once again, I was disappointed in my pictures.  Jonathan is frowning.  Jessica's blouse was too low.  I tied Jonathan's tie myself, and didn't know what I was doing.  It looks incredibly silly!  I had them stand in front of the neighbor's tree, because we didn't have any suitable landscape.  In hindsight, that is just odd, because their house shows up in the background.  Years from now, my kids are going to wonder why they are standing in front of the neighbor's house.  Oh, well!  I tried.

I'm always disappointed, too. It's just that in my head, my kids are so cute and adorable! In real life, they squint at the sun, have stains on their clothes, and boogers in their noses. LOL
