Cousin Sleepover & Easter: It WORKS!

What a FANTABULOUS weekend!  It was amazing, great, fantastic, marvelous...We squeezed and pinched every drop of fun we could into one weekend.  I am WORE out!  Audrey Jane wanted a Mammy & Pappy Cousin Sleepover Birthday Party for herself and Anne-Claire at Mammy's house.  They both turn six this year.  So that's what we did!

Then we had Easter also.  A wonderful Resurrection Morning, sunrise service 7 a.m.  I wasn't sure if I could rise & shine.  But I did.  So did everyone else at our house.  We all made it and had a wonderful service.  Ken led us in the Lord's Supper, then we did a Resurrection Reading.  This was followed by breakfast, and ended with a singing.  Whew!  It was GREAT!  All of my darlings sang.  Stacy and Joshua sang a beautiful duet.  Tafta sang a duet with me; we were joined by Ava (who ran up and down the aisle) and Audrey (who stood hugging her mama).  Sadee Ann sang two solos. One of them was the chorus to "Power in the Blood" which she changed the whole ending to, but amazingly it sounded correct!  All 12 of the cousins sang "This lil Light of Mine" with Pappy, and "Countdown".  Ben's angels sang and signed "How Great Thou Art".  It was beautiful.   It all reminded me of "What a Day that will be..."  The Lord is good and worthy to be praised!
