March 2016 - Easter


Happy Easter from the Kearns! We went to Katy to spend some time with our family friends the McClures! As always we had a lovely time.


I made these little apple roses for dessert!

The day after Easter for family night we made our traditional Resurrection Rolls. It's a great reminder of the true meaning of Easter. We use crescent roll dough and roll them all out. Then we place a marshmallow (or 2 or 3) in melted butter and rolled in cinnamon and sugar. The marshmallow represents the body or Jesus, the butter represents the oils put on His body and the cinnamon and sugar represent the spices that were put on Him to keep him smelling nice. Then we wrapped it all in the dough (representing cloths) and put them in the oven. The oven is the tomb. The kids stood guard to make sure nobody messed with our Resurrection Rolls. When the rolls come out of the oven and opened up, the marshmallows are gone as was Jesus' body when He rose from the tomb. A wonderful family night. We do it each year and each year the kids love it.




Guarding the tomb.






We also had fun hunting for Easter eggs!





The end.
