A True Easter Miracle


On Saturday, we thought it would be fun to take the kids to have their Easter pictures done. Lincoln has never had a professional picture taken since we haven't been allowed out in public. I figured Easter was a good time to break the rule and get a picture. I truly expected it to be a disaster but somehow, everything went smoothly. I even got the closest possible parking spot at the mall. Maddox smiled (he never smiles in pictures) because we had a male photographer. He thinks men are generally entertaining and funny. Women seem to bore him, unless they are Grandma, Mom, Hadley, Dama (my mom) or a few select neighbors who he really likes. While Lincoln was having his individual picture done, Grandma took Maddox for a walk. I hope she forgives him for being such fun! She had never before seen a true Maddox tantrum but she was lucky enough to witness one in the Disney Store, as he commanded her to, "Go AWAY!" He definitely forgives Grandma. As we pulled away from the mall, he was crying to go see her again. Either way, we got the picture, and the day was a success.

The pics turned out really cute. Congrats! Why is it so hard to get them to smile? I mean really. We ask them for so little!
