I know, I know, I haven't blogged in FOREVER for multiple reasons, including heaping piles of homework, a million places to be, and not really anything interesting worth blogging about. But......I figured since Easter weekend is here, I have a couple things to show you :)
I really have a burden for little kids to get to know what the REAL meaning of all these holidays we celebrate. Easter is becoming more and more about candy and bunnies and baskets, and the real reason is forgotten. But I will NEVER forget! I have a lot of friends that have kids, and Tyler and I's best friends Jordan and Ethan have a little girl Cadyn who just turned two, and they are so faithful to always be at church and it's a blessing. We also have friends Andrew and Christy who have Heidi, and they just started recently coming to our church. Since I don't have a little girl of my own to buy for, I LOVE buying stuff for these girls :) I went and bought them the Easter VeggieTales DVD and a book with the real Easter story in it, and put them in these adorable little baskets that I painted their names on:
How cute! They both have wonderful parents and we love them so much!
Anyway, today, I decided to try to make 'Hidden Surprise Easter Egg Treats' - you've probably seen them advertised in magazines lately. They're simply Rice Krispie Treats in the shape of eggs that are hollow and have a 'surprise' (M&M's) inside. They were REALLY easy to make and turned out so cute!
I still have to figure out how I'm going to decorate them before tomorrow's Easter festivities! If you want the recipe, here it is!
I hope everyone has a blessed Easter; remember, it's the day our Savior arose - He is a LIVING Savior, and now we can live with Him in eternity! Hosanna!
