Happy EASTER

Can you believe this is right on time, I can not! But it is mainly so that Grandma can see how exceptional her sewing skills really are...
CHEESE!

Although egg hunts are exciting and dresssing up is what life is all about for these girls, I feel very grateful for a day full of spiritual uplift and a chance to hear so many others bare testimony of the resurrection of our Savior. I was blessed to listen to 10 beautiful young women each bare testimony of Jesus Christ and of their knowledge that He exists in everything that surrounds them. They bore strong testimonies that He has been there to help them everday in their own lives, answering prayers and allowing them to repent and change...it was a powerful reminder of what really matters most in life! I know He lives and I know that through His Atonement we will all live again and that we can be with Him and our families for all eternity if we do our best now to follow His example. With this adorable family, I am ready to do my very best, I must say that I am very grateful we can be together forever...

Coleson LOVES to get his hair done. When the girls are getting their hair blown dry after bathtime, Coleson get's his sprayed and then he flatens and spikes it like crazy...he really loved the fo-hawk Tyler gave him this morning :)
Thanks for the fun Easter clothes Grandma! It's sad to be so close and yet so far...we would have loved to celebrate with you today.
Here's a great short clip on what Easter really is all about:

How adorable everyone looks. You are right, it is nice to dress up, and the dresses Grandma made are absolutely precious, but it is even more unlifting and gratifying to know the true promise of an Easter Sunday. Much love, and I can't wait to see you!!
