Relaxed Easter clothing–pictures!

On Easter morning, Nathan called from the shower, “Is my suit ready?” 

I replied, “Well, I’m feeling too fat to dress up, and I figured since Alex has a cast and will be wearing khaki shorts, there’s no reason for you to wear a suit.”

“This is the best Easter ever!” was the enthusiastic response!

I told Alex he had to at least wear a shirt with a collar.  He chose one with a skull.  I started to say no, but then I figured, “Skull-Easter-Golgotha–I can live with it!”

The girls got new dresses, but the zipper on Shelby’s broke that morning, so she just wore a sweater and skirt.

And Hudson had a new suit, tie, and dress shoes, but he couldn’t wear the tie because his neck is too fat.  After we took the pictures and put him down, he was having a hard time walking in the shoes which caused him to fall.  Because of the suit jacket he couldn’t reach his arms out to break the fall and ended up landing right on his forehead.  After the second goose egg, I took the jacket and shoes off.  

Phoebe was thrilled with her new clothes, but always resists having her picture taken when she is dressed up.  By the time we got to church, she was covered in the chocolate she had secretly stored in her new purse, and was tired of the shrug.  So, except for Abby, we all looked a bit bedraggled on Easter morning!   

Fortunately, God loves us in casual wear, chocolate-covered wear, half suits, fat clothes, and even skulls. 





























Because it’s only fair….
