Tonight we decorated Easter Eggs. Grandma, Aunty Claudette, Uncle Phil, and GG all came over to help and watch the boys. Of course the coloring looks like juice so Brandon had to taste it. Hmm not too bad for vinegar and dye!

Yeah know that the kits come with a little wire thingy that you can use to dip the eggs right guys? Never mind, I forgot that it was way easier to do it this way…

COOL, guys look at my egg! What egg? Ohh you mean the one on the end of the green digits!

Uh oh! Um I think there might be a problem here guys. For some reason I just cannot get the egg to be the same color as my hand no matter how many times I dip it in.

Yep they are pretty green alright!

What is with my children dying their hands green? The last time was of course St Patricks Day.

Even Aunty had to get in on the action. Look at that concentration and attention to detail…

This is mommys egg she made at the start, so pretty. I am not sure why it was the only egg to escape the greeny blue bath that was the fate of at least two dozen other eggs, including Aunties focused effort.

See there is a theme to this years egg decorating, what can I say the boys dig blue

For some reason even with the blue baths…

We did end up with one dinosaur kind of looking egg. I think this might have been the outcome of Aunties egg after Owen got his hands on it =)

Happy Easter everyone!

Popcorn and movies with Aunty and Grandma

The boys absolutely love popcorn and movies, but this was an extra special popcorn and movie night because they got to share it with Aunty C and Grandma K. Lately the boys keep telling us that they miss Aunty and they miss grandma. Owen tells us he misses Aunty every day and Brandon says the same about grandma. Brandon is so dramatic about it that if you ask him how he is doing he will reply with a response of “not good” sounding all sad and dejected.

I love that I caught them giving each other a look.

Ahh nothing better than cuddling on the couch with Aunty and watching a movie while eating popcorn!

Of course on a night like this they are all smiles!

Edmonton Wedding Reception – Mandi & James

At the beginning of March I had the privilege of photographing the wedding reception for Mandi and James. They went away to get married and had a cocktail reception afterwards. The room was adorned with white and teal including chair and table covers, M&M’s, and accents giving a very airy and beachy feel. It made me think of a hot clear blue sky day on a beach in Mexico, which was awesome considering it was still snowy and cold here in March!

One of my favourites from the night.

I loved the expression and embrace of Mandi’s parents during slideshow.

Their first dance, well at least first for the local reception.

I love when couples get close while dancing.

Ya got to have a little kiss at the end!

Now this was a party that enjoyed dancing, nothing like the right song to pack a dance floor.

Thank you Mandi and James, it was a lot of fun capturing your reception. Next time you got to invite me to the wedding though

Self Portrait Sunday – Simply Natural

After missing the last few weeks of self portraits I thought I would simplify one. It has been a tough few weeks, lots going on and I can’t seem to get caught up. I think I am back on track now after setting up a new computer and a new bed. I seems that 2 adults and 2 kids cannot all sit on the same corner of the bed. Who knew?
