Easter kind of snuck up on me...our life has been a little crazy around here. Between new baby Jack and Jake being a toddler. We had a great time this easter though. We kept it simple and shared it with the people we love the most. Remembering the one who loves us the most, Hallelujah, He is risen!
Boys, Easter gets over looked so often, I don't think it gets the focus it deserves. Easter is just as important as Christmas...if not more so. Not only was our savior born but he lived as a man and died...for you and me! He fulfilled prophesies and saved us all from certain death and eternity away from Him. As you get older I look forward to teaching you the importance of Lent, Jesus' journey to the cross, Good Friday and Easter. There will be lots of crafts and object lessons over the years to help you learn and remember the importance of this season. Since you are both young we started small this year. We ready the Easter story in your Bible and then we made Resurrection Rolls!!
First Jake, you got your Easter basket from Grandma and Grandpa. It had lots of outside toys and bug hunting things in it...we can't wait to use it...it has rained everyday since Easter!
Now for the Resurrection Rolls!
Jake, you had a great time eating!
Stuff those marshmallows...
Sugar face
So these rolls are super easy to make:
Croisant Roll dough
a large Marshmallow rolled in melted butter than cinnamon and sugar
then the mallow wrapped in the dough.
bake
and enjoy the object lesson!
Jesus is the marshmallow...roll him in spices and wrap him in burial clothes...stick him in the tomb/oven and when he comes out he is gone!
Jake, you loved rolling the marshmallows in the sugar mix
Sitting on the counter baking...I love it!
our finished rolls...ready for baking!
playing in the sugar
can't let it go to waste...lets eat it!
messy face!
ready for rolls...drinking some juice
careful...they are hot!
Where is Jesus?
"Jesus went, zoom to heaven!" That is how Jake described what happened to Jesus
More Easter festivities...
Monster trucks!!
"Roarrrr!!"
You boys are too loved...three Easter baskets?!?!
"Daddy, I want some M&M's.....please"
Look Jack...you were here too...actually you were at all of the events above...just sleeping! Here you are happy in Grandma's arms!
We had to play in the water table before hunting for eggs
Found one!
A sneaky egg...hiding in Uncle Matt's hood.
Found another one...you had to shake each one as you found it.
lots of eggs...some were filled with candy...others with money!!
So cute!
tuckered out...
let's check out the stash!
Chocolate coin!
Happy Easter boys!! We had the best time hanging out with our families...Still can't get over the fact that that love each other and enjoy hanging out...we are so blessed!!
