Easter Weekend '12

Thanks to a dear friend up in Alaska who shared the recipe we made some fun Easter treats this year. This recipe made a lot of "nests" so we had plenty to share with neighbors and to put at each place setting for Easter lunch.

Easter Treats:

-One bag of large or small marshmallows

-stick of butter

-1box of All Bran or FiberOne cereal

Melt butter and marshmallows on the stove. Add cereal and mix to thoroughly combine. Form into balls and make a "well" to form a nest. Add eggs. 

I'm excited for next year when Reese can help.

We had a wonderful morning of worship at our church, Placerita Baptist. Wonderful, powerful music with lyrics that were Gospel focused as we sang to our triumphant King! An incredible message taken from Revelation 1 by Dr. Jack Hughes reflecting on the person of Jesus Christ having conquered the grave and reigning in heaven. 

Next, we headed to Papa and Marmee's house for our family Easter lunch, dessert and {after nap time} egg hunt.

A gorgeous day to be outside together!

Lord, our hearts are full of grateful thanks for your death and resurrection that we might have life eternally with You. Your wondrous love displayed by the cross reminds us of our sinfulness; needing You to give us your righteousness that we might stand before your throne spotless. Alleluia! What a Savior!
