As much as I tried to capture some shots of the kids hunting for the easter eggs, they were just moving too fast (and were too distracted) for me to get a decent shot! So all I have is the aftermath….

Noah sorts his eggs:

Noah’s birthday cake blow out, at my mother’s for easter dinner—at least this time he got to blow out his candles, unlike at his birthday party:

With a serious face, showing one of his gifts from Auntie Monica and Grandpa Gord:

Rebecca, being silly!:

Just a few of Rebecca and Noah…all shot with the Lensbaby G3.

I noticed some HUGE icicles hanging from the roof on the back deck today, the melting has begun, but I know spring is not just around the corner. (Unfortunately, hopefully it won’t be too much longer now though…)

My son turned 8 years old yesterday, but the poor little guy was so sick from the flu. He had his birthday party, with his friends on Saturday, and became ill half way through his own party. He didn’t even get to enjoy his own birthday cake.

At first he was feeling fine, watching for his friends arriving at his party:

His party was held at the Scratch Gallery, which had fabulous artwork on the wall, which I used as a backdrop in photographing his sister:

Noah working on his artwork, but starting to feel ill, which is why he looks so unhappy

Rebecca working on her artwork:

Poor Noah, sick, sick, sick, on his birthday day, but enjoying the comfort of his new ‘friend’ Tigger:

Poor kid, what bad timing to be sick at his own party:
