On Saturday, we headed out to Bahama to spend time with Marty's family. We had an egg hunt for the kids and Hudson had a chance to ride his dirt bike out in the wide open spaces of the country. Addison got the hang of hunting eggs pretty fast and stopped to shake each one she found to see if there was a treat inside. We went to church that night since our awesome church was expecting a huge crowd on Sunday morning. It was a little odd doing "Easter Sunday" on a Saturday night but the service was great!
Sunday morning, Marty left for work and the Little P's and myself stayed in our jammies most of the morning. I wanted to do something special for the kiddos so we read the Easter story, opened our resurrection eggs and made resurrection rolls. The kids had a blast and before we knew it, it was time to head to my parent's house for more food and more egg hunting. We hope you all had a great Easter weekend!
Here are the resurrection eggs. They are a great interactive way to tell the Easter story. After we finished, Hudson took them up to his room and played with them. I'm still finding egg parts in his sheets. They were a big hit!

Happy Easter!
I couldn't resist sharing these funny moments from Easter morning.....
While telling the Easter story....
Mommy: "...and then, Judas showed the bad men who Jesus was by giving him a kiss."
Hudson: "Awe!! That was sweet!"
While opening the resurrection eggs...
Mommy: "This egg has rock in it just like the rock that was rolled over the opening to Jesus's tomb."
Hudson: "And then David picked it up and hit Goliath in the head!"
While making resurrection rolls...
Mommy: "...now roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar. That's what we'll call the death." "Hudson, do you remember why Jesus had to die?"
Hudson: "Because he didn't eat all his marshmallows."
