Posted in Crafty things to do!

I found a recipe for Easter Cookies that teaches the true meaning of Easter. They taste pretty good too!

Here are some pictures...

Daddy reading out of the Bible

The boys breaking up the pecans (after Jesus was arrested he was beaten by Roman soliders)

Daddy adding the egg whites (The eggs represent life. Jesus gave His life so that we could have life.

Adding the sugar (the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him.)

Opening the tomb

Opening up the cookies

It really was a great visual, and C1 really got it. He asked so many great questions. We will do this again next year.

• 9.2.2007 - Mosaic Crayons

Posted in Crafty things to do!

-Mosaic Crayons-

Take your broken crayons and place them in a greased muffin tin - one that you don't mind if it gets stained by the crayons.

Place in a 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes until melted - careful it starts to smoke.

Let completely cool

C1 trying them out
