all the cousins listening to the story where God made even death nothing to fear. Where Jesus triumphed and the tomb was empty.

then we made resurrection rolls- so easy (with American prepackaged goodies)- I stole the idea here (thanks Kim) and the recipe is here. And I think we have a new family tradition!

each child made a tomb, then laid jesus's body after putting the oil (butter) and spices (cinnamon and sugar) inside

then we baked them for "3 days" (errr...or 10 minutes)

and then when we opened the tomb the morning of the third day.....Jesus was no longer there! Or as the astute Joel pointed out "Jesus burned up." Not quite what we were going for but yep he is gone. He is risen! Run and tell everyone you know!

I somehow managed to get great pics of everyone BUT my offspring...everyone was so cute in their matching outfits even if our misfits from Africa had to wear multiple layers and borrow bags to collect their candy bootay.

Great to see that you had a perfect day together with your family, with lots of fun and action! Our easter sunday was quiet and I missed my family around... And we missed an egg hunt with your girls! No egg hunt this year in our garden ;-(
