Through the years

Since Ethan was born, our family has taken a picture every year on Easter morning at church.

Most people know my affinity for matching the boys. It is getting harder and harder to do that, now that Colin and Cameron are growing and into the bigger sizes, but we still manage on some things--like coats, jackets, and occasionally shirts! Easter is no exception.

I love (love love) to coordinate our outfits on Easter!

I am kind of a Nazi about it.
I get all worked up over it.
I shop and shop and shop and shop to find the right things.
I drive Shane absolutely semi-crazy in the process.

Suffice it to say that I get really excited about this process! Not just for the boys' outfits, but for Shane's, and mine, and now Lolee girl's, too.

Especially Lolee girl's. *grin*

Oh, and notice I said, coordinate--it would be impossible to match, but I love to at least aim for the same color family every year! It's made for some great family shots. I thought it would be fun to take a look back over the last four years. . . .

. . . . aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I'm sobbing.
