Happy Easter from the Appletons


Happy Easter to all! We had a fairly laid back day. On the original plan, we should have been in Florida today, but since that trip isn't happening we just went to church and had lunch with Mamaw and Papaw. The girls did get all dolled up, including rag rolled hair.

Vivian was so cute last night. Lydia got out the stuff I use to roll her hair, and Viv sat down on my lap like, "Here I am. Do my hair. " I fully did not expect her to sit there long enough to let me roll it, let alone leave the rags in over night, but she did very well with it.



The boys were pretty handsome too today. Kellen started off with a dress shirt and a tie, but when he discovered that he had to button the shirt all the way up and tuck it in, well it was just too much for him. He still looked pretty handsome, even though he likes to look like a goof for the camera! Finally caught him with a decent smile for this picture.

After lunch Papaw and Tim kept working on the fence. It is coming along. I think Tim has a post brewing about that project. The rest of us walked up to see how wet the garden spot is; still very wet! It supposed to rain all week too. Makes it kind of hard to get my peas in!

We are taking spring break this week. We'll be catching up on some things and going to do a few fun things too. Ashley and Miles will not be here. They have lost all but one of their days of spring break due to snow make up days. We also are having issues with their mom letting them come again. It is all very frustrating, and we miss them a lot. It is really hard on Kellen and Lydia.

Hoping you had a good Easter too!

  1. What gorgeous ladies and gentlemen they are!

    I'd like to know what you said to get Nolan to sit still for 10 seconds for that proper pose! ;o) He's usually so busy.

    Matthew loves to wear ties. He got to wear one to the symphony 2 weeks ago and he was so happy to finally get to wear one. Our church is not very formal, so we don't get very dressed up for mass.

  4. They are very beautiful children. We don't do church yet. There's no point, as no one would sit still. We spent the weekend with grandparents and had baskets and an egg hunt in the 32 degree weather.

  6. Great pictures! My camera died on Easter. I was so disappointed that I didn't get any pictures. Glad you had a nice Easter...that's a big accomplishment to get four kiddos all dolled up. I know I can really work up a sweat getting mine all ready for church, and I only have two. My youngest is rather active. It's like trying to dress a jumping bean.

  8. Beautiful kids! I love rag rolled hair. I used to do that to mine but my kids won't sit still for it.

  9. Oh goodness, they're adorable. Vivian with the rag rollers is simply too cute. That's what I should have done with ElfGirl's hair as well.
