Easter Sunday- Henry.

We woke up bright and early on Easter to a wonderful sight- Easter Baskets. They were filled with the same easter eggs that mama has been recycling (with the same candy) for 4 eggs hunts now. But that didn't make them any less exciting.

Also in our baskets were chocolate bunnies! In a very out-of-character move, mama let us eat our bunnies for breakfast. But she did make us take off our church clothes first.

Mine was delicious!

Juner got a bright pink bunny in her basket. Mama did take pictures of the baskets, but forgot to turn on the auto-focus, so none of the pictures turned out.

June only made it half way through her bunny before giving up and demanding something not sugar-based.

But I, after remarking that this bunny has no head, made it through my whole easter bunny without taking a break.

Then I demanded that mama take a picture of the chocolate in my mouth so everyone would know I ate it.

After breakfast, Juner made a few calls wearing only her fancy underpants.

After the morning sugar fest, we headed to church for Easter Mass. We made the poor decision of arriving only 5 minutes early for the 10:30 Mass and were stuck standing int he back of church. I was very well behaved through the whole 90 minute service, but I did not want to be held and had to be taken out of church twice. Mama said it was more like penance than a celebration and declared that next year she would resume her tradition of attending the 3 hour Easter Vigil alone. But at least we got to sing all four verses of "Jesus Christ is risen today." I even tried to sing along with the "Alleluias."

After church we tried to get a nice easter picture, but Juner was not in the mood. She'd been sitting still too long. (Don't worry, this beautifully landscaped garden does not belong to us, but instead to our neighbor, Miss Pam. Ours is still pitiful with 3 blooming pansies and two dead bushes.)

We thought maybe a different pose would work.

And finally resorted to the steps. June refused to sit down, but did give us this adorable tush shot.

This is the best shot we got of Juner's Easter dress. It has little sheep embroidered on the front and those cute little black shoes were almost too much.
