Miranda, Johnny and I missed church today because Miranda is pretty sick. She is running a fever and has a cough and runny nose. Dan and I were pretty bummed because we wanted to see her up on stage singing with the other children. We have been practicing "Ho, Ho, Ho Hosanna" for a couple weeks and she's got it down.

I tried to make Easter special for her at home in between naps. We sang songs and read the resurrection story in her "special" Bible. We thought about making a tomb out of flour, salt and water and baking it in the oven, but supposedly it was going to take 2 hours to bake and Miranda was short on energy, so we just cut out the bottom of our egg carton and made a mini tomb with tiny strips of toilet paper (Jesus' band-aides) on the inside. Miranda enjoyed opening and closing the "door" and saying "It's empty" and "Jesus is ALIVE!".
