Happy Easter!
We had a beautiful Easter day.
We got up early so we could have a little Easter egg hunt before church.
The kiddos got new outfits and they had a fun time going on a scavenger hunt for their gifts.
After the hunt, we made Resurrection rolls.
I had never heard of them before, but have seen a lot about them lately and they were so fun.
You take dough and roll a marshmallow in butter and cinnamon sugar.
Then you roll the marshmallow in the dough, sealing all the edges.
Then you bake it like you would rolls.
When you open it up to eat the, the marshmallow has disappeared!
Such a fun little object lesson to talk about our Saviors resurrection!
Then we all got ready for church.
I enjoyed our Sunday School lesson, talking about the Easter story and about what 'palm leaves' or 'articles of clothing' we can lay down before Christ.
That miracles are happening all around us and we just need to be aware of them.
The Lord wants to help and bless us....we are all entitled to the blessings of the Atonement.
Just some great discussions.
When we got back home, Porter, Madi and I ran over to Bubbles to help her hide some Easter eggs for her little family party she had.
We ate a little lunch and then had some quiet time with some little naps happening....I told you we had to get up early to get everything done and to 9:00 church on time!
Then we started our Come Follow Me.
We continued our family Easter discussion.
We didn't get a chance every day to go over the events with the whole family, so that's what we did.
Then we did this weeks lesson and the takeaway from that was to humble ourselves.
Become as little children.
We as a family are going to try and be less sarcastic.
We like to joke and that is different.
The sarcasm is mean and it meant to hurt, the joking is fun for everyone involved, no feelings hurt.
So that is what we are going to try and work on as a family, less sarcasm.
Then we had our yummy Easter meal that we prepared as a family.
It was a nice time, but you know my favorite part?
The clean-up.
I think it is so great when we all take part and we all work together to get things cleaned up.
Yes, there is grumpy moaning and a little bossing around.
But in the end, my heart was full that we can finish a goal together and it is always a better job than if just one person was left alone.
Anyway....that is just a little thing I have learned from the Matthews family side.
Clean-up is for everyone and it's FUN!!!!
