Easter Celebrations

Our Easter celebrations started Saturday morning with an egg hunt at church. We had a breakfast first, and then the hunt. The weather had been real nice all week, but then rained Saturday morning so we hunted inside.

Ryan and the boys at the breakfast. Not the greatest of pictures...with Josiah's expression and the biscuit in Aedan's mouth.

Our Egg Hunt in the Yard
We did another egg hunt this year in the backyard. Instead of putting baby dinosaurs inside the eggs, we put a gummie in them. Aedan LOVES gummies, so he was happy with that.

Josiah had to climb this tree to get this egg!

Resurrection Biscuits
Later that night, we made Resurrection biscuits. Josiah made these with his CBS class, so that is where I learned the recipe. It worked well, and they were super yummy!

This is what you need:

~melted butter

~cinnamon and sugar mix

~large marshmellows

~crescent rolls

1. The marshmellow represents Jesus. Dip the marshmellow into the butter, so it's covered. The anointing of Jesus because He is King.

2. Place the marshmellow in the cinnamon/sugar mix until covered. I can't remember what this stands for, so Ryan and I decided it could be the death and burial.

3. Then, take a crescent roll and wrap around the marshmellow. This represents Jesus inside the tomb.

4. Bake in cupcake pans (sprayed with Pam) as directed.

Optional: I added some butter and then cinnamon/sugar mix on top before baking.

After baking, the marshmellow is gone!! Jesus is gone...He is ALIVE!!!

Here are some pictures:

It is so cool to see the boys and their understanding of the Gospel. Josiah, especially, is understanding more and more as he learns about God. This past weekend, Josiah said, "But, Jesus isn't alive, he died on the cross." Of course, this gave Ryan the perfect opportunity to explain that Jesus had come back to life and is alive today. Josiah asking that question shows at least some thought process on the subject. They are both learning a lot, and it is fun to be a part of and watch:)
