"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Happy Easter!!!!

Happy Easter!!! This is Ellie and Meg on Easter. Meg was in the middle of a little tantrum fit and wouldn't let anyone hold her, so instead of posing we had to line up in a row. Ellie's dress was made by my Aunt Gail on my Dad's side and Meg's dress is the same one Ellie wore on her first Easter. It was too small for Ellie when she wore it, but I liked it a lot. It ended up being the perfect size for Meg.










This is Elise when she wore the same Easter Dress. Pretty darling.






This is the dress my Grandma made for Meg for Easter. She is 97 and is still quite the sewer. She also made a dress for Ellie for Easter, but Ellie wanted to wear the jumper. I need to get a picture of the other one... maybe next Sunday. Meg's dress was a little too cold for yesterday. She looks good in yellow though!!!






This is Ellie doing her twirl in her Easter dress. And a close up of her curls. She wanted to put her "curlies" in yesterday and we ended up coming out like Shirley Temple. The ribbon was definitely necessary to not looking like we were wearing an afro. As for the bandaid, Ellie's had a scab on her nose that she would not leave alone, so we had to resort to the large bandaid nose. Everyone at Church thought something big had happened. Nope. Just a scratch.

Ellie is such a little ham for the camera! So cute! We curled Skylar's hair, too. It always looks way too tight in the morning, but generally comes out all right after an hour or so. I love that picture of Ellie on her first Easter - it is really precious. Also, I can't believe what an amazing seamstress your Gma is! Meg looks delighted in that pic. I think she was just upset Easter morning because she wanted to wear the yellow dress!
