I really like Easter. I love that there are starting to be warm days and blossoms and I love remembering the Saviors atonement. I do have a very hard time with commercialism (did I just use that big word?!) Anyway, I have a hard time with that with every holiday. Including birthdays. But I think we did good this year!
We had our egg hunt on Saturday morning because church is at 9 and I knew we'd never have time. They had fun!
Jenna just layed here by me for like 30 min. Saturday night. It was so dang cute.We went to Corben's baptism today. It was so fun. Jenna still won't let anyone hold her though. Oh, well. I don't mind holding her!
Last year we made these scripture Easter cookies and they didn't turn out very well. But this year, it went great! There are only 4 ingredients, vinegar, eggs, sugar and pecans. I did the pecans last year and like it better without, but with each ingredient you read a scripture and talk about how Jesus died and then put the cookies in the oven (tomb) and seal it with tape. The next morning they look like this, and they are hollow in the middle like the empty tomb. Then you read how Jesus was resurrected. Even Logan sat and listened and helped with the mixer, etc. It turned out so good. The cookies taste like hard icing, which I love! Let me know if anyone wants the instructions. I'll type it up.
Sunday Morning

What a fun Easter! I would love the recipe and scriptures for those cookies. Jenna is so cute! I love it when Gabe just sits with me for a long period of time without wanting to nurse. Doesn't happen much though.
I love that story/recipe idea!!! You are so creative to do that!
