Easter Resurrection Rolls!

Just when I thought I had all of my Easter Family Traditions in order... I'm changing things up on everyone. In lieu of Resurrection Cookies (and Cake!), I am making Resurrection Rolls to accompany our Easter Dinner and guests.

It does seem like everybody's talking about the Easter Resurrection Rolls. Imagine what they were all talking about when Jesus was resurrected! These are special to remind us of the empty tomb and the miracle there!

Recently, I have had a few emails requesting this recipe so I thought I would post it for those who may not have it. You still have time to try it this Easter Weekend. Here is the recipe we are going to use, courtesy of All Recipes.

Easter Resurrection Rolls

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 large marshmallows
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons white sugar
Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Separate crescent rolls into individual triangles.
In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar.
Dip a marshmallow into melted butter, then roll in sugar mixture. Place marshmallow into the center of a dough triangle. Carefully wrap the dough around the marshmallow. Pinch the seams together tightly to seal in marshmallow as it melts. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat.
Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Please share with me how you all are celebrating Easter this year. Happy Easter! He is Risen indeed!


Warmly,

Family Easter Traditions

We are so excited about Spring and celebrating Easter. We want to share a couple of our traditions that make this time of year extra exciting for our little people. We love the spiritual focus these have.



First of all we love the Resurrection Eggs by FamilyLife! These colorful eggs are a lot of fun for the children. Our boys still love to crack them open and see what symbol is represented and hear the story and accompanying scripture reading. If you get busy, you can make your own by following this video tutorial on ABC's youtube.

Another tradition that the children love is the Resurrection Cookies. Really! Do you see the theme here - we are excited about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. And even more thrilled for His return to earth. About Easter... the Resurrection Cookies are a great visual of the empty tomb. Ideally, you make these the night before Easter and in the morning voila - the cookies are hollow just as the tomb was empty! Our boys were in wonder of this marvel, just like we are of Christ's love for us and resurrection.



You know our family loves music. And Easter music is exciting! We love many songs. Today, I wanted to share this amazing offering of the "Power of the Cross" by some of our favorite singers, Keith and Kristyn Getty.



As for our Easter Cake - I think I have found the solution to this which-cake-to-make-post,
we are going with the Easter Cross Cake. We thought since the Tigers will get Easter baskets and the wonderful Grandparents have already sent big Chocolate Easter Bunnies, we will make a Easter Cross Cake to enjoy with our guests for Easter Dinner. I found this lovely one online and wanted to share this blog where it was posted:



Actually, I have my own version and design in mind spinning off from the Cross cake. What do you have in mind? How do you celebrate Easter?
