Easter SPT

From Lelly: while the kiddos are hunting eggs, take a moment to hunt for something *eggs*tra special about your weekend.

The sun was shining. We had a lot of family come over. There was brunch, egg hunting, and one extra special event.

Jordan was ordained as a Deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood. Even as I type that I can still feel the spirit that was there. One of strength, and peace, and holiness, and something bigger than us all. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a beautiful thing.

Man times flies! I still remember thinking Jordan was so old at his baptism. I did the collages in picasa. you drag your pics to the bottom left corner and push the hold button. add as many pics as you want and them click collage. they download fast too.

congrats. It really is amazing when you think of the responsibility we give to our 12 year olds, isn't it! It sounds like he has a great Mom to teach him what kind of responsibility that is!
