This Easter was a little different for the Maddox sisters. We weren't sure how the day would go, since a lot has changed in our little world. We decided to keep our Easter "traditions" of church and family as intact as we could, and knew that if we were surrounded by those we love, that would go a long way in helping us through the day!

We had a wonderful Easter service at Corinth FCM - our church "home." Shelly played the piano and Bud Woods (still going strong at 80+ years) directed us in some classic Easter songs, including my favorite, "He Arose" (you know... up from the grave He Arooooooose!!!).
After church, we had our annual Easter pose with Aunt Link. We tried to get a side angle for the Easter Lilies to be in the picture, too!
In case you think Shelly and I are dressed similarly, I thought I'd include this meme - which sums up a weekly conversation we have about our outfits...
After church, we headed back to our house, where ALL of our family met for lunch! Thankfully, everyone was willing to take assignments, so we divided and conquered that Easter lunch and fed about 20 people (plus PLENTY of leftovers for the rest of the week)!
It ended up being a wonderful day - we were able to be with our families and there were "just enough" memories to keep the day full of smiles. Thanks to my cousin Catherine, we got a few family photos!
