Easter Sunday 2014

There was much anticipation in our house Sunday Morning.  Laurel and Savannah had been asked by the music director to sing together for the Easter program.  These girls had practiced the words to this song for about three weeks.  I would hear them singing in the shower,  in the bed, in the car!  It has been so much fun listening to them practice.  We have all caught ourselves humming and singing this song.
They were so nervous as we were getting ready for Church.  Laurel said she was shaking already!  Savannah felt like she was going to throw up!  I secretly felt the same way for them.
They stood.
They sang.
It was beautiful!
All their hard work paid off!  Let me add, there were about 150 people there.  People come out on Easter Sunday!! :) I was proud of these two girls.  Here are the words to the song:

I Think When I Read That Sweet Story

I think when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men, 
How he called little children like lambs to his fold; 
I should like to have been with him then.

I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, 
That his arms had been thrown around me, 
That I might have seen his kind look when he said, 
"Let the little ones come unto me."


We left after church and went to Papa and Granny's house.  We ate lunch and had an egg hunt in their awesome back yard.

Savannah found the Golden Egg!  Her cool Aunt Jennifer stuffed it with money!  

I love how they are so involved with their eggs and candy.

Papa and Granny always make the holidays fun!  

Aww.... Landon needs more boys in his life!  

It has been a great Easter Weekend with family.  I'm so grateful for Christ, his Atonement and Resurrection.
