Easter Sunday

After doing all our 'fun' Easter things on Saturday, our Easter Sunday was quiet, peaceful and so nice.  Church was wonderful, the kids were great (except Enoch, who can't hold his sugar very well) and it was great to think of our Savior and his Atonement.
We had a nice lunch of ham, potatoes, fruit, rolls and peas.  Uncle Jarom came over and it was good to visit with him.
We weren't able to do pictures before church because Gavin gets to the church at 8:15 am to set up chairs and the other kids weren't ready by then.  We waited until after church (and Gavin doing fast offerings) to take pictures.  The kids were a bit ornery by then, so the picture didn't turn out great (think pouty Kate and Enoch refusing to wear a tie).  But, they did look cute for church.
Gavin is now only a few inches shorter than his dad.  Greg teases Gavin that his hair is going to take out one of his eyes.
Don't you love those seven-year-old smiles?
I made Kate's dress from a great Oliver + S pattern (sorry, Aunt Kaye, I really will put it in the mail soon).  It turned out too short, so I added some lace trim to the bottom.  And for someone who hates buttonholes, the back of this dress was a labor of love.
Kate decided she was done with pictures, but I love these candid shots of my boys.

Oh, they are beautiful children! The dress turned out darling. You always know how to fix it so it is just right.

Kate's dress is so cute! I am constantly amazed by the sewing projects you're able to whip up. Forget button holes--I can barely sew on a button!
