Easter 2010
Every Easter morning as a child, my mother made my sister and I stand in front of the house in our fancy clothes for a picture. I used to hate it. Eventually I refused and I always swore that I would never subject my kids to such foolishness. But then, apparently, I got old.

Easter 2008
My kids, unlike their parents, love to get dressed up. Maybe it’s because we don’t force it on them like it was forced on us. This year, we didn’t even buy “Easter clothes”. In 2008 and 2009 Tristan wore the same pair of shoes and in 2009 and 2010 Mackenzie wore the same pair. No rosy background this year. We pruned them to promote new growth. And look in those pictures at how much weight Monk has lost in the last two years. (I’ll save a Monk update for a later post when I’m in more of a creative zone.)
Now I see why my mother did this to me!
I hope you had a Happy Easter as well!

Cute. Although Mackenzie doesn’t seem too interested in taking a photo this year.
