Easter activity

This year's Easter was probably a little more secular than it should be at our house.
After a long and cold winter it felt so nice to be outside in the warm sunshine. And the days went by.

I have really enjoyed following a great LDS blog this Easter and the way a mother has taught the Easter message in so many fun and inspiring ways to her children.
I like parables and object lessons A LOT! Am a huge fan. I love the way the Savior taught in parables. And whenever I find a lesson that will help teach a gospel principle, I am happy! Serving in the YW for thirteen years does that to you. Sometimes the object lessons are probably a little on the verge, if you know what I mean. And so when I read about the Resurrection rolls, I was not sure if I should use it to teach something very sacred and special to me like this. So I guess I toned it down ~ but invited the girls to bake with me on Easter Sunday.

Here are some pictures of us dipping and wrapping the marshmellows.








And let me tell you, the marshmellow really melted and left an empty roll after being cooked in the oven. And they tasted good, too.

We started watching the Truman G. Madsen dvd from The Holy Land together as a family this Easter. It is food for the soul to watch the beautiful film footage and learn more of the Savior's life and ministry.

The tomb is empty. He is risen.
