As promised, this week's hat is, you guessed it, a bunny hat! Before I show off this marvel, I would like to share a few pictures of one of my family's oldest Easter traditions: dying Easter eggs. This year, my mother, my sister and myself coloured no less than 5 dozen hard boiled eggs. Of course we can't consume all these eggs ourselves, instead we share them with friends, family, neighbours and coworkers. In the end there are hardly any left at all.
This is how we look half way through:
We weren't a huge fan of the see through cups, the bottom is too narrow to fish the eggs out, but they look good in pictures. Here is Chrissy working on a green egg:
And of course, Henry helping with the colouring:
So now for the big one, here are some of the beautiful pictures we had done for easter, taken by the wonderful and extremely talented Stephanie Webster, look at that smile!
I not only made Henry a bunny hat for this shoot, but also a bunny diaper cover, tail and all! Trevor is a little mortified and keeps mumbling things about paying for therapy some day. But look at his little bum!
That's all folks! I wish you all a happy Easter, however you celebrate it!

Just Hatched
Here it is, Easter hat #1. I have another hat planned for next week, thus the early Easter preview. Some of you may have seen next weeks' hat on my facebook page, but if you haven't, it's a good one!
Enough about next week, this week was a busy one for us, I barely found time to fit in a hat. Between yoga, taking Oma to the dentist, seeing a movie and visiting with some friends not to mention fitting in time to feed Henry solids and get naps in, I'm surprised I found time at all! Good thing I now find myself able to make a hat in about an hour, so even if it comes right down to it, I can whip one up really fast before a little photo shoot.
This week my mother put him in a shrub for his photo shoot, he liked it, but was a little distracted:
Oh no! Incoming Tilly kisses! Yucky!
This is as close as we could get to a smile. At this point, after having tried to make him smile for some time, my mom announced she understands why photographers charge what they do to take baby's pictures. Not as easy as it looks.
Next week we'll have some pictures of awesome family Easter traditions. See you then!
