Easter, Part 2 in California

This year Henry and I spent Easter in California with Nana and Papa and Molly and her family. We spent Saturday afternoon doing an Egg hunt and then making Resurrection cookies with the boys. The boys helped make the cookies and while making the cookies we talked about Christ and some of the symbolism the ingredients held. We then put the cookies in a warm oven and "sealed" the oven the way the tomb was sealed. On Easter morning (before the Easter bunny left baskets) we opened the oven to find that the cookies were hollow (empty), just like the tomb. While Henry probably didn't dial into correlation between the cookies and the Resurrection, the other boys did and I enjoyed a fun activity that was centered on the reason we celebrate Easter. Below are some pictures of the boys sealing the oven and eating the cookies and then the baskets that the Easter bunny left Easter morning. It was nice to spend a holiday with Nana and Papa since we don't get to celebrate too many with them anymore.
