"O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory?"
Christ is risen, and you are overthrown!
Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen!
Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice!
Christ is risen, and life reigns!
Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in a tomb!
For Christ, being raised from the dead, has become the First-fruits of them that slept.
To Him be glory and might unto ages of ages. Amen.

I cannot tell you how happy this post made me today. It is rainy, I'm not feeling well, and then there is that video and those sweet, sweet photos to make me smile and warm my heart. Thank you!!
This is the cutest ever. The photos and video are so nice to see. I am not knowlegable about the serious portions so I will go directly to the fun part. I loved Jared helping the singers and your one son's audtion for "So you think you can Dance". Priceless...
