The Eighth Easter

It's good to know that after eight years of taking these pictures that I can still wrangle everyone into taking another one. Some of us have even learned that sunglasses are the key to surviving these pictures.


This makes Easter number... 6? Yup, 6th Easter together and 6th picture we've taken together in front of this cross.


Once we were back home, I realized that I had forgotten my tripod and I didn't feel like trying to set the camera up on something/trying to do the self timer either. So we have a lot of two people pictures from Sunday after church.



I'm interrupting this post to brag on my dad a little bit {hey dad!}

We joke around that my dad likes to get involved in things now that he's retired. For the last however long, he's been involved with the sanctuary renovations going on at my family's church. He was up at the church constantly checking on the construction, making sure things were going well, and whatever else it is you do when there's a renovation going on.

I don't have a before picture, but here's a quick after snap from Sunday:


Leaky skylights gone, new stone wall at the back, a ramp off to the side to make life easier for people who aren't a fan of stairs, new carpeting, new cushions on the pews, and probably a whole lot of other things I'm forgetting.

He received a standing ovation on Palm Sunday for all of the work that he did and someone got an Easter lily in his honor {& the rest of the renovation team's honor} for the renovation awesomeness.

Ok. Back to regular programming!




I hope that everyone had a great Easter! I sure did. I'm still enjoying the leftovers... I knew bringing home a little mini cooler last weekend was going to pay off.

  1. I love getting a huge family shot on holidays too! Along with all the little "smaller shots." Everyone is always like "why do we have to do this, what are you even going to do with these?" But they are so nice to just have.
