My cousin introduced the idea of color coding eggs for the kids. Each kids has a different color to look for. So the older kids aren't always getting the easy to find eggs. We hid Rachel's pink and purple eggs a little harder than Joe's blue eggs. The eggs we dyed the day before were free game.
Sunday morning we went to church with Grandma and Papa Goodwin. These two angels were the talk of the ward that day.
Easter evening we talked about Jesus and the resurrection. Then we made Resurrection rolls. (Yet another Pinterest idea)
The marshmallow represents Jesus. The crescent roll represents the tomb. The cinnamon/sugar mixture represents the spices that were used when they buried Jesus. The butter is the anointing oil.
You roll the marshmallow in butter and then in the cinnamon/sugar mix.
You roll the marshmallow up in the crescent roll. Make sure that it's well sealed. The stone rolled in front of the tomb made it impossible for someone to get out on their own.
Then you bake the rolls. Some of ours weren't sealed very well.
When the roll is opened the marshmallow is gone. Rachel and Joe loved it! They tasted good too.
