Easter

We did the Easter Story Cookies. It was a first for us. As you add ingredients you read scriptures and talk about how the ingredient relates to the story. You preheat the oven and turn it off after adding the cookies. You put the cookies in the oven over night and seal up the oven tomb. When they awake they have delicious cookies that are "hollow" like the tomb was empty, when they came to visit the tomb. It never ceases to amaze me at how well Brandon understands and knows the story. We asked him all kinds of questions and he was right on with the answers. I think we will continue this tradition. I think it is a great way to explain the true meaning of Easter.
Hunting for eggs

Easter surprises.
We ate a fabulous ham that was falling apart when we removed it from the oven.
