Easter Continued

We enjoyed our few Easter traditions as a family. We colored eggs and made Easter cookies. Here are just a few pictures of the kids. They used crayon on the eggs to make designs and then put them in the dye to be colored. They also used the shrinky wraps on some of their eggs. On Saturday evening - just before bed - we made the Easter cookies. This involves tasting some of the symbolic ingredients. The picture of Collin holding his mouth is just after he tasted the vinegar (just like they gave Jesus while he was thirsty on the Cross). After making the cookies, they go into the oven and then we don't get to eat them until morning. In the morning we find the oven door open (like the tomb) and the cookies are hollow inside. It makes for a special way to remember the real meaning of Easter. During part of the evening, Megan wanted to show us how she can turn her frown upside down and smile that frown away. She was trying to cheer up Collin after having tasted the yucky vinegar.
