I wanted Easter to go smoothly, so I prepared in advance. I bought ties for the boys and dresses for the girls (Burlington for the win!) and made sure they tried them on. Everything fit as of last Thursday. On Sunday morning, nothing fit, not even my own dress or Bryan's new tie. There were several explosions of emotions and figurative fires that we had to put out. We ended up being ten minutes late to our pre-church choir practice, which was especially rough since I'm the choir director.
My nerves calmed somewhat during the rehearsal. The choir did a magnificent job when it was time to sing. We had picked one simple song, How Beautiful, and one tricky song, My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee. They both required me to stay alert as I directed, but the second was particularly demanding. The time signature changes over a dozen times, so I practiced a lot beforehand. Both songs came together beautifully. The best part of both songs was the wonderful message of the Savior they contained. I told the choir that it was our opportunity to share our testimony of Christ as we sang, so we needed to make sure the notes we hit didn't get in the way of that.
And then we came home, took pictures, had an Easter egg hunt, and ate a delicious dinner.
