Emily was in a musical last week called "Jail House Rock." She had a line and sang her little heart out. I am so proud of her and I think she has found a new passion.

A virgin.
A baby.
Savior.
A boy.
A temple.
Miracles.
Messiah.
A donkey.
A crowd. Waving Palm Branches.
A Triumphal Entry.
Jesus.
The Last Supper. A Cup.
A Garden. A Prayer.
A kiss. A Betrayal.
An Arrest.
Scourged. Beaten. Whipped.
A Cross.
A Hill. A Crowd. A Crown. Thorns. Nails. Hands. Feet.
A Spear.
A Cry.
A Die Cast.
Death.
An Ending.
Darkness.
Sorrow. Weeping.
Wait-
A Rumble.
An Angel.
A Stone. Rolling. A Witness.
A Miracle.
Alive.
Jesus.
Forever.
Sin.
Forgiven.
For Me: A Hope.
For You: A Future.
For Us: A Beginning.
We will see Him again.
I believe that says it all!!!

Hashbrown Casserole

*This is great for breakfast or also makes a wonderful side dish for any meal. I like to serve it at Thanksgiving with ham. This is a great potluck dish.
1 (30-32 oz pkg) frozen potato hash browns, THAWED
½ cup melted butter
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 ½ to 2 cups grated mild cheddar cheese
1 - 8oz carton sour cream
¼ cup onion, chopped (or ½ tsp onion powder)
1 tsp salt
2 to 3 cups cornflakes
½ cup melted butter for cornflakes (optional)
Mix together ½ cup melted butter, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onions or onion powder and salt. Add cheese and fold in thawed potatoes. Pour into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Top with cornflakes and drizzle ½ cup melted butter over cornflakes (butter on cornflakes step is optional – taste great either way with or without the extra butter).
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
*Cooks Notes: The night before I make this dish, I take the frozen package of hashbrowns from freezer and transfer to refrigerator to thaw overnight.
*Another version: Can delete cornflakes step and split cheese in half and mix half of cheese in potato mixture and top casserole with other half of cheese. Great either way!

It has been a while...

She enjoyed her small gathering with us for now and she will have a princess party in a few weeks when her cousins come in town. She can't wait to have her real party.
She loved all her gifts!
Bye-Bye 4 and Hello 5!!!!!
Amy had her spring choir performance last week and she had so much fun. I can't believe that the year is coming to an end and that summer is around the corner.
The other day at school Amy made this clown and then Sister Catherine asked them to tell her what the clown had to say:Wednesday, April 1, 2009
