My all time favorite thing to do with the kids at Easter is make our Resurrection Rolls. This is the 3rd year for us and this fun tradition and I look forward to so many more. I love the way each ingredient and step represents a part of the Easter story, including the sweet results:
The pure white marshmallow = the perfect, sinlessness of Jesus
The butter and cinnamon & sugar = the anointing oil and spices put on Jesus' body
The dough wrapped around the marshmallow = the tomb in which Jesus was laid
The empty roll after the marshmallow melted = the empty tomb when Jesus rose
The sweet, delicious treat = the sweet reward of eternal salvation through Jesus Christ!!
So excited and ready to go...
We mixed up the "recipe" a little this year (using crescent rolls) to make it milk-free and Luke friendly so they didn't quite come out like they were supposed to...
...but, let's face it, just about anything covered in butter (or milk-free margarine), cinnamon, and sugar is gonna be GOOOOD! And they were!
He is risen! He is risen, indeed!

Love this tradition and I love that Luke was in his Buzz Lightyear outfit for the occasion :) He is just like "our" Lukey
