Dear Gracie, Today was beautiful.  It was your very first Easter.  You looked so cute in this huge yellow dress gifted to you from our friend Kristin.  It was the perfect Easter dress.  We took you to church today, all 3 hours.  Because Grandpa is in the bishopric of a singles ward, we went to that ward.  You were the only person there under the age of 18.  The chapel was silent with the exception of your little cries.  We passed you around, gave you a pacifier, and fed you a bottle.  Finally you fell asleep and stayed that way through the rest of church.  I felt the spirit present as we learned of the atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ.  As I was learning about His great sacrifice, I was watching you.  So grateful He sacrificed so you will have the ability to overcome sin and we can be an eternal family.  What an incredible blessing.  We talk about it often, our gratitude for you and for our little family unit.

After church we had a feast prepared by grandma.  We changed you into this cute little outfit with an easter bunny on your bum.
