A new form of torture called 'Easter photos'

The kids were dressed in their Easter finest, and of course we wanted to take some precious photos to remember how sweet (Lucy) and dapper (Josiah) they looked on this day.

What possessed us to believe they would cooperate is beyond me.

But looking at these now brings back the memory of a room full of family and friends laughing til our tummies were sore, and that alone brings me more joy that a perfect photo.

Sitting in the rocker was apparently not an option...

...though Mommy, Lucy, and the Easter lamb all tried...

...and Daddy's foot didn't do the trick to keep him put, either...

Okay, so one sitting and one standing isn't so bad, if only they would both smile. Let's try having them both sit...

Yeah, that didn't work either...

Ahhh, there are those sweet smiles! Close enough. :)

We may not have a photo we can frame on our wall, but what's more important is feeling the joy and love in our home...
