Eggs and Resurrection Rolls

Yesterday our Sunday School had an Easter egg hunt after church for all of the kids.

Emma had NO clue what was going on. 
All of the kids were lined up waiting for the "GO"... all the other kids had their eyes fixed intently on the eggs they were about to get.  Emma on the other hand was busy smiling and trying to socialize.

She finally got the hang of it and was interested when she discovered there was CHOCOLATE in some of the eggs!  Her favorite :)
We gathered the kids together for a group picture at the end... love all those little people!

We are so excited to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord on Sunday!  I LOVE LOVE Easter Sunday!  Later this week we will make Resurrection Rolls with Emma! I posted this recipe last year as well...but for those of you who missed it here it is again! 

RESURRECTION ROLLS

• 1 package Cresent rolls
• melted butter
• large marshmallows
• cinnamon
• sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Give each child a triangle of cresent rolls.
The cresent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.
Give each child a marshmallow.
This represents Jesus and His purity.
Have child dip the marshmallow in melted butter.
This represents the oils of embalming.
Dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar.
This represents the spices used to annoint the body of Jesus.
Wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the cresent roll
(not like a typical cresent roll up, but bring the sides up and seal the marshmallow inside)
This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after death.
Place in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
The oven represents the tomb (pretend like it was 3 days and nights!)
When the rolls have cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls (cloths) and discover that Jesus is no longer there,
HE IS RISEN! The marshmallow melts and the cresent roll is puffed up,
but like the tomb - IT IS EMPTY!
