Easter 2011

We had an enjoyable Easter Sunday, although it didn't start out the greatest.  All the kids were ready for church (except for Brynlee needing her hair done) about 30 minutes before church started so I wanted to get some pictures.  I tried and tried to convince Brynlee to put something in her hair.  Rob got a few pictures before her hair was done and finally after mom losing her patience (got to work on that!), she let me put a flower in her hair.  Yes, we were late for church.

Check out these studs...

"Before" pics. I had to include a bunch of them since they are quite comical (not at the time, of course)...








Much better, don't you think?

Cheryl and her family and Rob's parents and Grandma Jones came over for Easter dinner. Afterwards, we did an egg hunt in the backyard. I don't think you could wipe the permagrin off of Trevor's face. Love that kid!

Rob put an egg in a tiny basket up in the tree. The older boys were determined to knock it down with their baskets.

The little basket in the tree...

Just missed it...

Got it!

And then the big basket got stuck!


Meanwhile, Landon took advantage of the lack of competition and picked up a ton of eggs. I felt really bad taking some from him and sharing with the cousins.  He was pretty upset even though I still left him with alot of eggs. After some tears, he was able to force this smile. Sorry, bud!

Eight of the thirteen Barton cousins.  Such a "happy" group.  At least Trevor and Ashlee are smiling :)


I love this picture of T showing his Great-Grandma Jones his loot.
