Traditions...

Every year, we visit the Easter Bunny at the mall (see 2008, 2007 ). It's hit or miss, really. Because honestly, when you're a tot, a 6 foot bunny rabbit is a pretty freaky sight. But still, we persevere. Juliette got dressed up in her best dress...
What's that, you can't see the shoes? Here we are wandering over to the Godiva kiosk...
The boys waited patiently for their chance to tell the Easter Bunny what they'd like to find in their baskets. Trevor was really hoping for the movie Bolt and Hayden wanted two movies and two books...
Could they love the bunny just a little more? Could this be any more perfect? Is something missing?
Oh yes, we're missing Juliette. The angel in the pink dress...
In case it needs interpretation, Juliette is screaming at the the sight of the big scary bunny and Trevor is covering his ears because the screaming is SO LOUD. Hayden is just posing away because when you're the oldest, your job is to keep posing on the off chance that the little ones might behave for a second so the picture can be taken.
This last shot is from the mall people. The best they could do under the circumstances. Juliette is still red faced and miserable, but not actually screaming or trying to climb off the bench. Oh well, better luck next year. I'm not holding my breath for the Santa pics this year.
Hope your Easter was a happy one.

I love it! You are so good...taking them to get their pics with Santa and the Easter bunny. I'm a bit afraid of both of the mall versions myself, and have slacked this year and have not taken Kate. Hopefully next year!
And I LOVE Miss J's dress, shoes and hair bows...always precious. :)

Love you all and hope your Easter was a happy one other than Juliette's fear of the oversized rabbit.

I have never seen a lovable-looking Easter Bunny at the photo booths, or in pictures from our grandkids. He is one scarey dude. We just got our picture today. The kids look great, despite the Bunny. Love, Kim

Excellent job! Can't believe you got one of all three looking semi-content! However, I do love the one of you took of the three of them - each totally filling their roles on that day - Hayden is the ever-patient and appropriate big brother, Trevor is the annoyed middle child acting out to get more attention and Juliette is doing all she can to express herself and be noticed. They are wonderful! Allison
