We had a wonderful Easter weekend! It was pretty laid back and filled with LOTS of family time...just the way I like it! We started the weekend off by making Resurrection Rolls. Basically you take a marshmallow. which represents the Body of Christ and dip it in butter and then roll it in cinnamon and sugar. The butter represents the oil that they anointed Jesus' body with and the cinnamon and sugar represent the spices that they put on his body. Then you take your "body of Christ" and put it in the tomb, which is bread dough or a crescent roll. The idea is when you bake it the marshmallow melts and when they are done you break the tomb open and it is hollow.
Needless to say, our tombs did not turn out to be hollow...I am pretty sure our body of Christ arose! I am not sure what we did wrong, but it was fun and the kids really enjoyed it. It was a great way to help instill in them the real reason for Easter!
And even though they did not quite turn out how they were suppose to, they still tasted really good!
Papa has his Triumph running and the kids LOVE riding in it! Next step is the body work!
Checking out what the Easter Bunny brought.
My attempt at taking a picture of all 3 of my kiddo's. Miss Lakelyn was NOT having it!
My family after church on Easter!
The kids always love the egg hunt at Gran and Papa's! There is very little competition and a whole lot of eggs!
For some reason I don't remember finding that many eggs with money in it when I was little!
Checking out what they got!
The sun was so bright on Easter! It was a beautiful day!
Lakelyn loves to ride on Ellie the Elephant!
This girl is a mess!

Oh my gosh, I didn't know you made the cinammon rolls. I LOVE these! And it looks like Lakelyn loves her Easter basket as much as her Halloween bucket. And your dad's car cracks me up. This is so your dad! And an awesome picture of the kids in it down the driveway. As usual, all your pictures are amazing.
