Easter was, in a word, sublime. New bikes from the Easter Bunny, a colorful egg hunt, pancakes made by daddy, lovely church service, bike rides, lamb rib roast for dinner, and a trip to the park. I ate way more bunny shaped sugar cookies than I care to divulge, but the new Easter frocks were a hit, both with kids and dad alike. My boys (for once) didn’t whine about wearing a tie to church, but that might have been because the neckline was elastic and when they pulled on them they sprang back. Endless entertainment for the munchkins.
The boys:
Carter, who just has to climb.
And Ethan, who wouldn’t let go of that egg all day.
Miss Hannah was simply a doll.
And me, in my new dress:
I know, my stripe obsession is getting out of hand.
And it may or may not be a little nerdy that we all matched…
But I guess I don’t really care.
When it all came down to it though,
this little surprise stole the show…
Mr. Husband got me the bike I have been coveting for months…
complete with a basket.
and a bell.
and little red birds painted on the fenders.
which is basically heaven in a bike.
he sure loves me a lot.
the feeling is mutual.
the end.
everything about this post is adorable – your family, your matching dresses, the bike, all completely adorable! just found your blog and i love it :)

You guys all look so wonderful! My little fam matched just a bit on Easter- a touch of silver or gray on all three of us. Subtle, but cute.
Do you have a pattern for those dresses?
I need to know about a dress/skirt pattern too! MUST HAVE! From another stripe obsessed momma! ;)
Do you have a pattern for these dresses! I must have one!!!
I can’t tell enough how excited I am to find a mormon, petite stylist blogger who is a momma. I am 4’11 and I have the hardest time finding clothes I like that fit and are modest and workable with teaching and being a mommy. You site is full of wonderful ideas. Thank you so much. I am envious of your sewing skills. Keep it up!
