welcome spring!

we could not have asked for a more gorgeous day for the annual moore family egg hunt hosted by nate & larraine this year. the light was too harsh for great photos but great for egg hunting and really i'm just picky about the light. this is such a fun way to welcome spring and something the kids look forward to. on the whole, the cousins all get along so well that after every event, we're saying to each other, we really need get them together more often. today was no different, plenty of fun was had by all.the moms made an effort to have less candy this year, don't feel bad for tthe kids, there will be plenty by the time this holiday is over, and so the eggs were filled with fun little prizes instead. the favorite prize was provided by ann - these gross teeth, and were worn by the oldest children with a little too much pride.grandma says they should wear them to the dentist next time they go. gross is all i have to really say about them. as much fun as the oldest children had, the little guys were my favorite photos of the day, especially the egg that was too big for joey's mouth. i was also thrilled with how the cousin picture turned out, everyone is looking at the camera! this never happens! as cute as this photo is, we sure missed the rest of the family not in attendance. we can't wait until christmas when we're all together! yay!such a handsome group! i also really appreciate this family picture taken today because my husband is actually smiling in it, with his teeth. this picture alone made the years of braces worth it. look at my family, they're not so little any more are they? this photo is a little surreal for me, but i'm enjoying this stage of our family too much to feel too sad about it. happy spring!
