Easter 2014=)

Who doesn’t enjoy Easter?!?!?…its kinda a laid back Thanksgiving or Christmas for my family. We still celebrate like these two holidays, but with less intensity. I love the celebration of new life, the church services, the light colors, the dresses, and dare I say the guys looking so sharp. for once=)

I put together a “photo” scavenger hunt for everyone to do that afternoon…and it was so fun! Everyone running everywhere and quickly posing for a ridiculous shot. The laughter coming from all corners of the yard and house as everyone hurried to complete their list.

The we had to find our Easter bags…are we too old for this?!?!?

NO!!!!! Absolutely not! While running to find where my parents had put my bag of goodies I couldn’t help but feel like a kid, not a twenty year old girl acting like a child=)

After we got home from church that morning I encouraged everyone to join me out on the lawn for a quick family photo (I mean my dad was in a suit, come on!) As you can see what started out as a short family shoot turned into. “Olivia, can you just take one of me, ….oh and one of me and him/her”. I guess that’s what it’s like living in a family of ten and being the only photographer of the bunch…cause if you didn’t notice I didn’t get a single shot alone….ummmm.

    1. Do you think so?!?!?!? I don't enjoy people as much as other things though....like seriously...people are my least favorite to take pictures of. Well I was just snapping photos for my team (so other than the scavenger photos, I don't have any) and I didn't take any of the other teams snapping theirs.
