Easter Weekend Part 1

It's hard to believe my sister and soon to be "Uncle" Newman were here nearly three weeks ago now. It was a special weekend for many reasons...but to me it was most special because the kids got to spend quality time with them...

there was a flower girl fashion show:

stell tried on 3 dresses for Meg's big day...bribes were necessary...

there was much lounging by the pool...

and then there was a party! On Saturday night Mr. Lance invited us to his house for dinner and fun with his family...

Mr. Ted (Lance's Dad) and Babs deep in discussions...

This is Emery. Lance's brother's daughter. She was so sweet! Stell didn't want to leave her side.

can't tell if she was on the way up or down but either way she left her cheeks behind:)

The big kids decided it would be funny to get under the trampoline and make mountains for the little ones:)

then aston tried (this tramp has 2 layers for extra safety)...

so jealous that you can just walk out into your backyard and lay out by the pool. so nice that your sis was here to visit! love the bribes for the flower girl. :)
and another fun backyard--i've never even seen a double decker trampoline.
love your photojournalistic style. you are amazing at picking up on all the details and nuances of what's going down.
