Sunday morning, Susan and I dressed up our kids in their Easter finery, and headed off to church. In the afternoon, we indulged in Sunday afternoon naps with our toddlers and then it was time for Easter dinner at my in-laws.
If any of you who read my post or tweets wishing the Easter bunny would lose the candy are now wondering why I have pictures featuring the sugary bounty of April, it is because we were at my in-laws. Since I know that upon entering their house, my kids will be surrounded by chocolates and jelly beans, I keep their Easter baskets at home candy-free.
Olivia was in absolute bliss with all the, “caaandy!” as she signed candy while saying the word, in between mouthfuls. For the record, Olivia didn’t eat one bite of her dinner. Just chocolate, jelly beans and milk. (With candy AT the table, can you really blame her?!?) I decided to not worry about it. Only one meal of the year is the table decorated with candy-filled plastic eggs.
Susan, Rob and their kids also joined us for the Easter feast. My in-laws have a big party and with Susan’s in-laws all living in Italy, it is nice to have them join us.
My favorite part of all the fun is capturing the colorful sweetness with my Canon 40D. I used my 50mm lens, a special treasure I just love to shoot with. Here are some of my favorite shots:

Those pictures are so precious!!!! Love all of them!
Thanks for sharing them with us!
Your kids are beautiful, and it looks like you all had a wonderful time!
How fun! I love the one with the 2 blue jellybeans.
Beautiful photos. I love the ones of your little girl eating candy. Once they figure out what’s inside the eggs, it’s all about the candy. At least that’s how it works in my house.
Mmmm… those jelly beans look divine!
