I think I’ve mentioned before how dear and special our Resurrection service is at church.  If not, here goes.  We get up before the crack of dawn (that’s early ya’ll), and enjoy watching the sunrise over the trees while we worship God and hear about the miracle of the resurrection.  Then, our kids’ adopted grandparents prepare a breakfast like you would not believe.  After that is a time of praise and worship and testimonies.  We’re usually home just before lunch and are full both spiritually and physically!  Usually, the kids rush to change clothes and then play or lounge around.  This year, we managed to wrangle them and get pictures before they dispersed. The girls pick out the fabric for their spring dresses.  I wanted a coral and blue but they wanted blue, green and yellow.  Blue and green for NF colors.  Yellow and blue for Y the Brave’s home country.  Then, the girls get to pick out the pattern they either want to try (for Zoe) or that I get to tackle.  I’ve used the pattern for Ceili Rain’s dress before and I completely forgot about how much fabric it took.  It was a lot ya’ll!  Zoe’s skirt was from Marie Madeline Studio.  I’ve had my eye on it for years and Zoe was excited to try it this year.  She was nervous about using different patterns of fabric, but I think it came together perfectly.   I used the pattern for a skirt for me as well except we didn’t have enough variety of fabrics, so I went with just one.  Next time we use the pattern, we’ll both have to go down in size or sew the seams a little further in.  The finished skirts were way too big! Look at those boys!  I can’t wait to see six silly boys in that picture. Emmie was napping on the first go round. So, we had to wait until later in the afternoon to include her (then it started raining).  I made two dresses for her so that she could match her sisters before the halo and after the halo.Emmie says, “This IS my silly face!”
