Egg hunt 4-7

Spring! with everything so green,

A splendid morning of fresh soft dew.

I have my basket and my eyes are ready

To gather some friends and hunt for an egg or two.

Just a loving surprise that first Easter morning when the ladies went to the tomb to find it was empty. What is the point of the Easter Egg hunt at church? some say it's to remind us of how the stone was rolled away. Other's think of the dyed eggs(even though they are plastic now a days) should remind us of how Jesus' blood covers our sin. Some might like to think of how we should invite our neighbors to church for a fun time. Another view is that the eggs represent new life and Jesus came to give us new life in Him. There can be a lot of discussion and correlation on what is the point of the Easter egg hunt, I do hope when you and your family attend an 'egg hunt' you remember why we have a reason to celebrate~Jesus willingly gave his life for us so that we may have true life, an everlasting life.

Easter cookies

After a day at the aquarium we spent the afternoon making some very sweet Easter cookies to give for gifts. Lola's girlfriend was excited to help too. Some were decorated with outlines and some were done in a simple crisscross of frosting. If you have a ton of cookies to decorate just lay them out like sooo and hold the icing bag over the top and draw lines in one color one way and then change colors and line direction. This saves lots of time decorating and they still turn out really sweet and precious.:)mmm sugar cookies

On another note. Don't you just love tulips, any other time of the year I think of how sweet and colorful they are, but at Easter I always remember the parallel of how tulips should remind of us of Jesus bursting from the dark cave and bringing us new life. A miracle and a gift

Jello snacks for Bible Study

On Wednesday nights we enjoy an hour with friends at church where mom teaches children's Bible study. Tonights snack was a hit ~ jello shaped like Easter icons. It was the first time I tried it, we don't really eat jello. You can use any candy mold and just add the jiggler recipe for the filling. Oh, the possibilities....
