With that, let the story begin: Auntie Ruth bought the girls matching dresses & socks, as she wanted to see them at some point in matching outfits. We decided to use them as their Easter dresses. They were just adorable! Steph and I found matching hair items at Target. Emma's was a lavender headband w/ bow and Halie had the barrettes with the same bow attached. Steph also curled Halie's hair the night before on sponge rollers. What a doll! Thank you, Aunt Ruth!
We waited until the service was over to take them up front and take pictures by the Easter lilies.(check out their extremely foofy socks! )
This is a happy picture of Emma, but if you look closer you will see her red nose! Running like a faucet during church! That soft burp cloth was used many, many times as a nose wiper! :( Much softer than using any type of Kleenex or tissue
Emma & her Nana, who looks lovely in her pale yellow. I really wanted the pictures of the girls to be taken in front of the lilies, similar to this one, but they have recently re-done the entire front of the stage and that arrangement was not possible.
Halie Dawn with Nana & Papaw. Not sure why we did not get one of Emma w/ both grandparents.... Hmmm.....
The Lovejoy Family in our lavender Easter outfits. Martin does not willingly wear a suit too often. He had to be cajoled, kinda forced, etc... :) 2 times a year is not to much to ask! Right???
This one belongs a bit later, but slipped in here somehow. Grandparents Delamarter enjoying lunch at the Cantrell's.
Grandma D, Emma and Mommy after church and after our photo session.
Emma and her Easter goodies. What does the Easter Bunny bring a 10.5 month old pretoddler, who dies not eat chocolate?????? Hmmmmm... Ta Doodles (a beginner Crayola product), 2 books, a ducky watering can (for summer play) & Bunny shaped sidewalk chalk.
Standing in front of Nana's rose bushes, a few red ones are in bloom. Notice she is STANDING on her OWN!!!! She just decided this morning that she could do that! A little timid in this photo, but doing it all the same!We all (Delamarter's, Lovejoy's, Glidewell's, McNay's & Cantrell's) went out to Bob & Gina Cantrell's for Easter lunch. It was Robert's AND Bob's birthday today and they hosted lunch. All the ladies helped with the food and we had a super delish meal! Roast & noodles were Robert's birthday request and Ham because it was Easter! Plus all of the yummy trimmings!
The babies ate their lunch quickly and were put down for naps. After waking we did our Egg hunt. Here Halie is opening her pink Easter 'basket' from Nana. Emma got a blue one, as it is her current fave color. :) You'll see it being used in the Egg Hunt photos.
Emma woke up from nap with a fever. She has been getting sick since yesterday morning, but has had no fever until it was about time to hunt Easter eggs! So, she was clinging to me and refused to eat or drink.
But, we persisted, and got her to participate in the hunt. The first egg we found was purple and she could really have cared less about that, but I prodded her into bending down and getting it. Then, we found this one! A BLUE one! Boy, she was so into that! She picked that one up and began shaking it. It was filled with Sweet Tarts, and made a great shaking/rattly noise.
Here we have found 2 blue eggs! She found a grand total of three! Super for her very first Easter Egg Hunt and she didn't feel so hot!
Here are all three little ones: Emma Rose, Halie Dawn and Josiah Mathew. Josiah is my maternal cousin, Cyndi's son. The Delamarter family functions almost always include the many extended branches of relatives, married, maternal, paternal, etc... Makes for big, noisy, fun get-togethers!
Papaw flopped down on the ground with the kids once they were finished. Halie & Josiah just love him to death!! Emma is slowly coming around. It took her awhile. They say that I was the same way with my Grandpa.
The Cantrell family checking out those eggs. You can see one of their dogs in the next picture. Gretchen is sitting at the base of the tree. She stayed there forever thinking that she had a squirrel treed.
The Lovejoys, at the end of a busy and fun day. Emma looks happy and content here, but in reality she was exhausted. We left soon after taking these pictures.
