Matthew 28:6
Every year for the past 3 years, we've been making Resurrection cookies. It's another great activity to illustrate the love of Christ for us. Each step of the directions has a scripture to go along with it. The act of baking the cookies, listening to the scripture, discussing it as a family makes Easter so special for us. We couldn't celebrate Jesus glorious resurrection with the heartache of the events of Good Friday. It's difficult for a child to understand exactly what happened on that day, but we want them to grow up appreciating Jesus sacrifice for our sakes.
Here's a view of our baking adventure. It's the first time BOTH kids have fully participated. It was a blast! Don't they look adorable in their aprons?
Here they are "beating" the pecans just like Jesus was beaten by the Roman soldiers.
Adding sugar because with every good story, there has to be a sweet part. I think Kendall agrees - check out her eyes!
Feeling proud of himself. Check out the thumbs up!

Sealing up the oven like the tomb was sealed
This is what we found Easter morning - the cookies were hollow in the middle to represent that the tomb was empty
We had so much fun doing this as a family. I'm sure this will continue to be a family tradition for years to come.
