Have you ever heard of Resurrection rolls? I hadn’t until this year, but they’re such a fun way to teach kids about the reason we celebrate Easter. They’re meant to symbolize the burial and resurrection of Christ.

They’re made by dipping a marshmallow in melted butter. It’s then rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar and wrapped up in a crescent roll. When it bakes, the marshmallow disappears (melts). The marshmallow represents Jesus’ body and the crescent dough represents the tomb he was buried in.

When you pull the rolls out of the oven, you coat them in butter and sprinkle them with more cinnamon and sugar. Sadie really enjoyed making these and checking to see if Jesus (the marshmallow) rose from the tomb (the crescent roll)!

The funniest thing happened with the rolls right after we baked them. Sadie had one sitting on the edge of our kitchen table. I was leaving the house and Sadie and Jimmy went to our window to wave goodbye. While they were in the window, Mordecai snatched her roll off the table and was eating it! Sadie turned around and was surprised to see it missing 😂

Do you know what it looks like to sandwich a cat in a hug? It looks like the picture below! Jimmy was giving me a hug one morning and we looked over and Malcolm was staring at us like “Hey! What about me!” so we invited him into our hug and his purr motor was rumbling. Sadie took the picture!

I mentioned in my last post that I was making Spiderman-themed chocolate covered pretzels for my nephew’s birthday party and here’s how they came out.

The party was fun! I am still in shock that Lawson is now three-years-old!

Other things from life lately have included Mordecai being extra cozy in his carseat.

Husky boding. We’re watching Niva’s best friend for a few days!

And some cousin bonding in the church nursery. This is Olive, my youngest niece 🎀

It’s Sunday afternoon as I type up this post! It’s chilly outside, so I will likely be catching up on laundry and housework this afternoon before we head back into church this evening.

I’m looking forward to this week! Sadie *might* be getting her hair cut for the first time ever(!), Niva and I have a therapy visit, training session, and we’re celebrating Easter. I’m sure we’ll be making more Resurrection rolls, too, since we ate the whole batch from earlier this week 😉
