Easter 2014

 Our church put on a wonderful "Passion" play. They did an excellent job. This is a big commitment for these folks and I appreciate their time and energy so much as they brought the Resurrection Story to life.

Our pastor played the part of Jesus making his way to the Cross. 

The whole cast! 

 Easter morning surprises. My step-mom made sure we had Easter surprises every Easter all the way through high school. I appreciated it so much and I want to give my kids the same tradition. I give small gifts and one chocolate bunny so they don't get too much sugar that way. 

Couldn't help but print out the "The Bunny" lyrics to one of the my favorite Veggie Tales songs.

 The Bunny, the bunny, whoa I ate the bunny

I didn't eat my soup or my bread, just the bunny

The Bunny, the bunny, Oh I love the bunny

But now I feel sick in my head from the bunny.

I didn't eat my salad, I didn't eat my steak.

I had too much candy, I got a tummy ache.

I need to eat good food to help me to grow,

I'll obey my momma, cause she loves me so!

Yeah i'll go to church, and i'll go to school.

That stuff is important, and I know ooooo....

(Girls in backround:)

I don't want no pickles, I don't want no honey,

I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny

I don't want a tissue when my nose is runny,

I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny

I don't want to tell you a joke that is funny,

I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny

I don't want to play on a day that is sunny,

I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny

(Repeat in backround)

End: The Bunny, the bunny, whoa I ate the bunny

I didn't eat my soup, or my bread just the bunny.

The Bunny, the bunny, Oh I love the bunny

But now I feel sick in my he-e-e-aaad fr-om the bu-unnnyyyy!!

 I got Michael a fleshing tool for Easter. This will make it much easier for him to scrape the hides he tans naturally. That Easter Bunny better run!

 I tried making Resurrection Cookies for the first time this year. They tasted good, but they weren't hollow or "empty" like they are supposed to be. I think my oven just doesn't hold the heat in for as long as it should. No surprise since the oven is almost 40 years old. I pray it will last as long as we have this trailer house because it would be nigh on impossible to find another one.

Hailey and Josiah still love the hunt! We had a lamb dinner with all the fixin's with my mom and step-dad and our new friend, Joe. Fun times!

 I'm planning on posting our official Easter 2014 photo shoot next. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter and were able to celebrate and reflect on the true meaning of the day. He has risen, He has risen indeed!

God Bless,
Jackie
