Lil' Nut must have been a baby the last time we made these. As I explained what each step of our preparation process represented her whole face would light up as she began to understand the significance.
Of course, the best part is opening the rolls after they come out of the oven and discovering that the marshmallow (Jesus' body) is no longer in the tomb!
Later at Sunday school I was telling my class of 7th grade girls about our Resurrection Rolls, and none of the girls had ever made them before. Next year I'm going to plan on making them with my Sunday school class. I did that when we lived in Georgia and the children had so much fun with it.
The morning preaching service was wonderful, as usual. The gospel was presented so clearly. My mom and in-laws joined us for a special Easter lunch. We enjoyed ham, pineapple casserole, squash casserole, broccoli with cheese sauce, 7-layer salad, rolls, and peach cobbler. I was too busy getting the food ready to take any pictures, but it was all delicious! During the evening service our choir presented an Easter cantata with such uplifting songs. Easter doesn't make me sad; it makes me glad!
Here's a picture of my precious kiddos taken after church. Tired, happy children. :)
