Why is it that the only time we take the time to make family photos is at Easter??
Oh right, because it makes everyone so ornery, it's not worth it! Not to mention, there are so many super fun things to do and so many people we love to play with, it seems unreasonable to take 15 minutes of that fun time out to make a silly picture. Action shots are more realistic anyway!! Bribery worked pretty well with Caroline, but Rutland made sure we all knew he couldn't be bought! He was not going to pose and that was final. Where on earth could he get that stubbornness from? (hint: it's not his mamma). We had a great Easter in Montgomery with the annual Hooks egg hunt, which I have had to retire from. I gave it 30 good years, scratching and clawing my way to either collecting the most eggs or finding the prized money egg. Caroline seems to be my best hope of a successor - Rutland did not show enough drive and concentration this year. Caroline surprisingly continued to look, despite the heat. It was a wonderful weekend with great food and even better company. Thanks for hosting all of us Mom!!

| C and R dying eggs Saturday morning. We have always dyed eggs with my grandmother, MeMee, but since she is not with us this year, my mom made sure the tradition kept going!!! The kids loved it. |
 |
| Caroline was pretty particular about dying her eggs. |
 |
| Rutland broke the most eggs - shocker! |
 |
| My baby!! |
 |
| Thank you Gigi for our beautiful Easter duds!! |
 |
| This is the most accurate picture of how our morning went! |

| Poor Memee wanted a sweet picture so bad, but the kiddos were NOT having it. Still too early I guess! |
 |
| Love this sneaky little grin :) |
 |
| Like Christopher says, "We could still be in college, right?" Um, don't think so C ;) |
 |
| Ahh, but why would you want to go back when you have all this?? |
 |
| Love! |
 |
| Lost in early morning thought! |
