Easter

I really wanted to make the girls Easter dresses

I think it was my desperate need for something new and creative

so I found a pattern online for pillowcase dresses

and of course

cute pink fabric....

found a great deal with two white sweaters..

then decided they needed bows as well

(which actually match their lampshade..haha)

and since I still had extra fabric I went a little nutty

with bibs

burp clothes..and blankets, and pacifier clips

Lilly and Elise got their friends from church a little Easter candy

to prepare for the group photo

Sami, Elise, Lilly, Ellie, and Liam

and of course a family picture

since I actually bought a new dress!

This song sums up my Easter thoughts better than I could ever articulate

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.



No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
