easter

Oh, Easter! You sneaky sucka. Every year, I say that you will not break me down and make me eat All Of The Candies. And every year, I do. This year has been no different. My facehole is a shelter for homeless Peeps and Cadbury Eggs. 

We had a really lovely day, and here are some photos - mostly of Julian and Audrey hunting for eggs in our yard. Hello, North Carolina! You are lovely in the spring. 










Now that I have shown the sweet photos of my children, would you like to see the very best family photo from the day? Of course you would. Here it is. It was the end of the day, and we were all tired and full of ham (I am so sorry, vegans) and Audrey was losing her motherloving mind. And the expression that Wade and I are sharing is one of, "Children! YAY!" Ha! Look at us. We are over it. Julian is the only one who looks even remotely pleased. Even our dog and cat are about to get into it.  Happy Easter!!

You're all are awesome. Except for the ham-eating. (Kidding. I don't give a crap.) There's something so rad about "SO over it, you guys"-type photos, I can't even explain. They should be what we frame and put on the mantlepiece.

I'm the chocolate hound in this house too. I'm kind of at the point where I don't even care- I just eat every bunny in sight and then feel sooo ill. Love that last photo... keepin' it real!

HA! great moody picture!
BTW Audrey has piggy tails and looks so big. The picture where she's looking up at Julian is darling <3

Jessica Wright said...

Aww, what a sweet...uh. Hmm. So. Yeah. Angry much?

Also. Your husband looks like he's about to toss Audrey to the wolves. Or, the dog. Also. You're pretty, as always. Hate you.

I love your family.
And Audrey's little muscles and little pigtails. Oh man. Too cute.

Lauren said...

Hahaha! That family photo says it all. That's about how we felt on Easter afternoon as well. Over it. You guys are still adorable!

Ok, photos #1 and #6 KILL me; SO CUTE. The family photo also kills me, but in a different way - hilarious. I don't know how you parents do it.

Allison Wilson said...

Thank you, Anne! xoxo

Allison Wilson said...

Oh, god. #6, where Audrey is looking up at Julian, slays me too. She is so obsessed with him.

Allison Wilson said...

Long days and tired babies seem to end that way, right?

Allison Wilson said...

Thank you, Kori! I love your family too, and am still planning on that sweet-ass attic.

Allison Wilson said...

We were both pretty ready to shake the baby. And you? You are super pretty all the time.

Allison Wilson said...

I love those two little meeps.

Allison Wilson said...

I have several more of Audrey just losing her shit and flailing around, and they're all really hilarious. Oh, babies. Why you gotta be so crazy?

Allison Wilson said...

It was so lovely! Indoor hunts are pretty fun too, because you don't have to worry about gross bugs & dirt sneaking into your candy stash!

Allison Wilson said...

I wish I saw more "over it" family photos. I look at other blogs, and see how perfect and beautiful everyone and their families are, and I feel like the Meeps are a bunch of wanks.
