she’s a little spoiled ; )

Naomi Mae and Ava Rae got all dressed up in their favorite finery for all the big Easter day festivities at Papa’s house.  They decided

to peruse the backyard and find just the right floral accent to complete their outfits.  I persuaded them to take a few turns and

show off, which wasn’t hard : )

Hand in hand, sisters forever …

After 364 agonizing days of waiting, the big number 7 has arrived for my little Naomi Mae!  Not quite so little anymore, but I’ve got Ava Rae

to console me for just a little longer.  I made Naomi her favorite breakfast, french toast, and let her open some presents before school.  There will

be cupcakes and bowling and a big surprise later tonight : )

Nana Connie called to wish Naomi a happy birthday …

Talking  to Nana … Ava loves the phone : )

Just finishing up the full set in color but couldn’t resist doing a few BW conversions.  I think there will be some

nice black and white material to work with though most of it looks great in color as shot.  It was a beautiful

sunny day so the colors saturated well and provided lots of natural pop.  I’ll sort through everything once

it’s posted and see what works.

The girls ate up the opportunity to try on lots of fancy dresses and admire themselves in the mirror.  Fun was had by all : )
