Happy Easter 2008!

Well, as you've undoubtedly heard, today is almost the earliest date possible for Easter (the earliest date possible is March 22) and, in fact, it won't be this early again for over 150 years!. Keeping that in mind, we prepared for a chilly day today with temperatures only forcast to be in the low 40's. Brrr!

So, off we went to church! Here's Jordi in the Easter play, wearing angel wings & a halo and playing the tambourine. (For some reason, she insists on holding a lyric sheet, although she knows the words and can't read them anyways! I guess she just wants to do what the rest of the older kids are doing!)

After the service, I tried to take some pictures of the girls in front of all the beautiful flowers up near the altar. Unfortunately, Caroline stubbornly (and loudly) refused to cooperate. So here's Jordi, posing on her own, showing off the pretty Easter dress that Grandma Henri made for her.

Luckily, she was more inclined to have her picture taken once church was over. Here she is, enjoying a Cadbury creme egg from the cute little blue felt Easter basket she received from Judy Ford!

Finally, a picture of both girls - and they're smiling! (These are not easy to come by, believe me!) I think they were both had enough candy in them to override any feelings of picture protest. Whatever the reason, I'm glad I got at least one picture of them as a memento of the day!
