We had a great weekend and Easter Sunday. We love building family traditions and continued this year with our Easter traditions. We love to do the Resurrection eggs and this year we read the story "Benjamin's Box" that goes along with them. It is a great story that helps bring what Christ did for us to life for our little ones. The kids had numerous eggs hunts and loved each one of them. Sunday morning they got to see thier baskets, we made Resurrection Rolls (reciepe follows) and then went to church. After church the kids got to find the eggs hidden in the back yard and then we had a nice lunch with Papa and Grandma Donna. The rest of the afternoon was spent playing sidewalk chalk, bubbles and baseball.
Resurrection Rolls
These are a great easy breakfast or treat to make that even the littlest hands can help.
Use refrigerated biscuits or cresent rolls, marshmallows and sugar and cinnamon mixture.
The marshmallows represent Christ's body. Roll one in the cinnamon and sugar mixture (this represents the oils and spices that were brought to rub on His body) The biscuits represent the tomb. Wrap each marshmallow in it's own biscuit. Make sure it is completely sealed or the marshmallow will ooze out. Then bake them on an ungreased cookie sheet following the directions on the can of biscuits or cresent rolls. When you go to eat them you will notice that the marshmallow is no longer there. It is hallow inside. Just like Christ's tomb.
These are yummy!!!
