Ready to hunt eggs. Some friends of ours organized an Easter egg hunt for some neighbors and invited us to come. Weather forced us inside at the church where we go for playgroup.
Let's go this way!
Finding an egg.
Excitement!
Claire attempts to chow down on a real, dyed egg.
The egg hunters show off their finds.
Checking out their eggs.
With eggs. Messy face from attempting to eat the dyed egg, shell and all.
Eleanor, Hannah, and Carolena after the hunt.
Making Resurrection Rolls. Cheesy name but effective imagery for little kids. Dip marshmallow in butter and spices. Representative of Jesus, wrapped in white cloths and spices applied to his body.
Wrap in dough. Representative of buried in a tomb.
Claire eats while we work on the rolls. Never would've known she liked hard-boiled eggs but we have so many on hand that I just handed her one and she was happy to eat it.
End result--marshmallow forces the dough open and leaves a big hole. Clearly, representative of an open, empty tomb. The marshmallow is gone just as Jesus was. Eleanor looked amazed. Asked me if I took out the marshmallow. Point made, I think. And a yummy treat for dinner. Happy Easter! He is risen!
