Happy Easter!


















Easter was so much fun this year with the little "Missy"...celebrating holidays through the eyes of a child is always so much fun! My Mom did her annual Easter egg hunt the day before Easter (due to lovely Washington weather) and Kamdynn caught on very quickly! Every egg she found she had to shake to make sure it really had something in it. After the hunt we took the kids to see the Easter Bunny and to our surprise Kamdynn walked right up to him, gave him a high five and sat on his lap.

While the Easter Bunny and egg hunts are fun, we always put a greater emphasis on the TRUE meaning of Easter. We are so grateful for the sacrifice of our savior on the cross and love celebrating that HE IS RISEN! We made "Resurrection Biscuits" for the first time with the kids and will now be making it a tradition from here on out!
I'm including the recipe below; because I think EVERYONE should do this with their kids!
Resurrection Biscuits
You will need:
*Large Marshmallows
*Refrigerator Biscuits
*Bowl of melted Butter
*Cinnamon Sugar
Have children flatten the uncooked biscuits, wrap a marshmallow in each one, and pinch the edges tightly together. Help children dip the dough balls into melted butter and roll them in cinnamon sugar. Bake biscuits at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. When the biscuits are cool, give one to each family member. They'll get a big surprise when they bite into the treats. They'll be hollow and empty, just like the tomb!
