The tradition died this year

Yes. that's right folks. If you notice on my blog to the right I have the first 2 years of Anna's life with the Easter bunny pic. So, this past Good Friday I loaded them up and talked all about meeting the Easter bunny for our picture. I even showed them the two pictures from the past and talked about them. My goal was to get one every year...since I haven't done it with Santa, but I have with the Easter bunny? Brady wanted to wear the same shirt and outfit in last years pic, but I had to explain how that just didn't fit anymore. Anna just kept happily saying "bunny!" I get them to the mall and they would not get out of the stroller. So, I strolled into the Children's Place and found some good deals. Then, tried one more time and no chance. I am really big on picking my battles. Yes, it is something that I would love to have, but I wasn't willing to MAKE my kids do it that day. It was a battle I didn't want to pick. I just couldn't bare the thought of me wrestling them onto his knees with my belly in the way and probably getting all sweaty and out of breath from doing it. This year, we just happily waved good bye to the Easter bunny and played with cousin Jack at the play land. Then finished it off with a lunch at Chili's. You can bet next year, I will try for a picture with all 3 of my little darlings!
