Our prayer is that our nuggets would one day grasp the importance and miracle of the Resurrection.
In effort to plant tangible seeds about truth that seems so intangible, we tried baking Resurrection Cookies together as a family the day before Easter.
On Easter morning, we found the cookies baked in the sealed oven…both nuggets were quick to try them and seemed to enjoy the fact they were getting to have cookies for breakfast!
After trying the cookies. We set out to make breakfast together.
Like last year, we made Tomb Rolls…
Once the tombs were baked, we sat down and enjoyed breakfast together as a family. B was thrilled to discover that our rolls were empty! Just like the tomb that Jesus has been placed in!!!
Little A and B enjoyed opening some cards sent with love from Texas while we ate…
After church, we enjoyed brunch with some extended family.
Little A isn’t always one to warm up to other people’s laps…she made an exception and enjoyed some quality time with her Great Grandma and Grandpa!
They obliged her hankering for a pink peep candy…which she gladly ate!
Gram was gracious to sit with the nuggets during brunch while C and I enjoyed catching up with cousins while we ate.
The nuggets (including all their ‘cousins’) were quick to eat because they knew there was an egg hunt waiting to be had!
Because of the chilly northern weather, the eggs were ‘hid’ inside instead of out…this made for a pretty each hunt, but didn’t seem to take too much wind out of the kiddos sails!
It was a sweet day of celebrating our Savior and a gift to be able to hopefully plant little seeds in our nuggets’ hearts.
Be blessed.
