Easter 2009

Here are some pictures from Easter. It was a fun family event. Katelyn dyed eggs for the first time with Mommy, Grandma & Aunt Adreal while Daddy took pictures. The next morning we went out to breakfast with the whole Solorzano Family (Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Melissa, Uncle Johny, Aunt Adreal, Cousin Andrew & of course Mommy, Daddy & Katelyn & Gracie). We went to IHOP and Katelyn shared off of everyone's plate and Gracie slept the whole time (a wonderful treat for us -we rarely get to eat a meal without bouncing her on our knees). Later we went to Easter Mass at Grandma & Grandpa's church.

Katelyn fell asleep at the end of the Mass, but when she woke up she was ready to see what the Easter Bunny brought and to hunt for eggs!!! Grandma made a wonderful Easter basket for both girls and the Easter Bunny (AKA Mommy) gave her an Elmo Easter Basket with Cinderella bubbles, a teddy-bear dressed like a bunny (you can see it in some of the pictures), a seek-and-find book and a "Belle" magnetic doll. We have video of Katelyn looking for her eggs -I'll have to upload it at another time.

Enjoy the pictures!!! And "THANKS!" to Grandma for getting Katelyn & Grace their first matching Easter dresses! They looked adorable!







Katelyn is so expressive -this next image is "Classic Katelyn."


Katelyn & Adreal (I think Adreal was more excited than Katie! I think she's just excited that her son will be doing this with her next year!!!)


Katelyn with her cousin, Andrew (he's still mastering his sitting-up skills!).


Gracie wasn't too happy about posing for some pictures... But I love this image!


After some feeding Gracie was in a better mood, but quite sleepy.





Katelyn decided to play "Peek-a-Boo" while we tried to take pictures of Gracie. Katelyn went with us on a family photo shoot the day before and saw me playing "Peek-a-Boo" with the kids, so I think this was her attempt at helping make Gracie smile. :) They turned out quite sweet.


You can see that Katelyn's yelling, "Peek-a-BOOOOOO!" in this one. :)

Love it, guys! I love the b&w image of Katelyn & Gracie where Gracie is crying. Also love the color in the last few! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for taking a look & commenting Becky! :-)
Just want to clarify...which two are the last two? I ask because I JUST added more images and I am not sure which two were the last when you commented. LOL Though the new last two are similar. I am in love with this "new" look. We'll have to do some like this with your girls. :-)
Oh and I LOVE crying shots!!! What baby -or child for that- doesn't cry? So why not photograph & celebrate it? LOL

Great shots. Having such beautiful children as subjects makes being a photographer just that much more fun. Well Done.

Thanks, Mick. I know -it's almost like cheating with these girls -they're adorable even in blurry shots! :-)
