~Our Easter Sunday~

~For our breakfast...We made a new recipe for "Resurrection cinnamon rolls." You roll up a large marshmallow in a section of roll dough (with butter, and cinn./sugar) and then when it's baked the marshmallow melts and leaves the "tomb empty" inside the roll...the melted marshmallow makes for a delicious cinnamon roll. =)~ ~Our Sarah loves to write us notes. She wrote this pretty Easter note for Daddy and my page is behind his page.~
~The kids Easter baskets (poor Elijah didn't get a basket, nor any candy...but he got a cute little monkey and a new toothbrush. HE LOVES HIS TOOTHBRUSH! =)~
~Phillip and I each got a Twix candy bar and dear Phillip shared his pack of M&M's with me. (I had had 2 packs, but needed something to add to a gift for my secret sister that morning, so gave mine away. =)~
~A just awake Kimberly and her basket~
~A barely awake Noah and his basket~
~A tired but happy Sarah and her basket~
We had a very good service Sunday morning, and God helped Phillip as he preached. We taught the church several new Resurrection hymns. PRAISE THE LORD THAT JESUS IS RISEN!!~
~For our Easter dinner we had Shrimp with Lemon Linguine, rolls, a big salad, homemade grape juice and a dessert.~
~I made our dinner rolls to look like the backs of Easter bunnies (or Spring Bunnies =). Here they are before they were baked.~
~After the "bunnies" were baked.~
~Our family on Resurrection Sunday. The kids outfits came from the Eisenharts ...Thanks bunches!! The dress I am wearing is the wrap-around dress that I just finished making from a pattern that Julia M. sent me. Thank you again, Julia!~

After our dinner, I took a quick nap, and our family ran to our evening service (in the POURING RAIN) and had a good service, and then came home exhausted but happy with the good Sunday that we had had.
