Happy Easter

Well, we had a few fun Easter activities going on the past few days. . .

First, we invited a bunch of people from our ward over and had a really fun Easter egg hunt at the park behind our house on Friday. Unfortunately, I left my camera at the house and didn't get any pictures! We did almost get rained out, though, so we headed back home and ate some yummy egg shaped sugar cookies!

That afternoon, I colored eggs with Nathan and Lily. They particularly enjoyed coloring on the eggs with the invisible crayon.



This morning before church (we have 1pm church), we made some super yummy "Resurrection Rolls" that my visiting teacher brought by the day before. They were so easy and fun to make. Basically, you take a triangle crescent roll (which is the tomb), a big marshmallow (which is Christ's body) and dip it in melted butter and then cinnamon and sugar (the oil and spices they annointed Christ's body with) and then roll it up in the "tomb." When they are done baking, Christ's body has "disappeared" from the tomb. The kids loved it and the rolls were delicious! Thanks, Mylea!!

I had about 30 seconds to grab a picture of the kids before church. Nathan came zooming in at the last second and somehow between getting dressed and getting to church, he always takes off his tie and his shirt comes untucked and he practically has to get dressed again! Oh, well. :)
And I have to throw in these cute pictures of Kayla. The other day, she was walking along the rock in our front yard like a balance beam. It was so cute!
It took a lot of concentration. . . .


Happy Easter!!!!
