Easter pics finally....

Ok so I just realized I never got around to posting Easter pics. Figured I better do that before April is over lol. We spent the day with my family in Irvine. The weather was beautiful, we were all dressed up, and we topped the day off with an egg hunt. I love when holidays are relaxing and go smoothly.

We colored eggs a few nights before

The Easter bunny brought the 3 older kids giant balls along with a few tasty treats!

 

Sisters

The whole gang

Our awesome attempt at getting all the cousins together lol. Thought it was worth a try.

Cousins and friends for life (but over picture taking at this point)

My parents with all of their grandkids

 My big girl. Hard to believe she is 5.5 already and almost done with Kindergarten!

Mom and I with the baby

Now that Heidi is 2.5 she is too cool for us

The Easter bunny came to Nana and Dat's house too!

And brought the kids new swimsuits!

And of course a little bit of candy...

Bobby still has time for a pic with me now and then

My littlest princess playing in her dress

On and egg hunt

Can't talk, too busy hunting

But Lilly ALWAYS has time to stop and pose for a pic

And it just wouldn't be Easter without wearing a singing Christmas hat right?

 

Studio pics! Loralee's first birthday and our family.

Ok so we finally tried getting pics of the whole Lloyd Pack as a family this past weekend. I also did Loralee's first birthday pics. The family ones actually went pretty well and we got a few of ALL 6 of us looking! I wasn't able to get one of just the four kids but I am totally fine with that. They kind of burned out after the group shots of the 6 of us. And Loralee did really well this time too (although she melted down at the end). I cannot believe I have faithfully taken pics of each child every 3 months for the first year of their life! I am really proud of myself for doing that because now no kid can come back to me and say I never took any pics of them. There's an equal amount of pics for each baby. Love it!

Loralee was really into this bench.

The infamous cake shots that each Lloyd baby has done

And she was done

 

This is as far as we got at trying to get just the 4 kids. Loralee and Heidi were not having it at this point.

Loralee's party pics

Here are the pics from Loralee's first birthday party. We did a bunny theme since her birthday was so close to Easter. My mom made all the bunny cupcakes as well as Loralee's individual cake (which Loralee tore right into to!). It was a great party and the weather was perfect. Still cannot believe she hit one already!

She was being shy at first when people started arriving

Super happy to be with my grandma

Stripped down for her cake

Cake time! She was all over the cake and dug right in!

Our last first birthday

Happy first birthday to our last bundle of joy. You complete the Lloyd Pack and make us so happy!

Loralee Catherine is ONE!!!

Today our last baby turned ONE!!! This first year with Loralee went by in the blink of an eye. I still have a hard time believing we are heading into the toddler years for the last time. Loralee is still the sweetest and most easygoing baby. She loves to say mama, dada, uh-oh, hi, bye bye, and other random jibberish. Loralee loves walking around the furniture and will sometimes stand by herself. Not walking yet on her own but I am in no rush for that phase to begin. I want to enjoy every last second of her being a baby. She is still my cuddle bug and will sit and snuggle with me for hours. And lately she's been trying all sorts of people food which she loves. Here is a year in review of our littlest princess.

Easter Bunny pic

We went with my nephew Barrett today and saw the Easter Bunny. Lilly and Barrett loved him but the rest of the gang wasn't too sure. I could barely get Heidi and Bobby to stay for the pic. And Loralee did not care for him at all but we managed to choose one of the pics where she wasn't screaming. And we came straight from Lilly's softball game so she's in her uniform still.

I love how Heidi is as far away as possible and how Bobby is looking for his escape route.

 

Tub Time

Rub-a-dub-dub four Lloyd's in the tub!

 They will probably hate me for this someday...
