The night before Easter we began making Resurrection Cookies with the girls.
First, we beat the pecans just like the Roman soldiers beat Jesus.
Then we smelled and tasted the vinegar that Jesus was given to drink while He hung on the cross.
The girls were all smiles when we used the egg whites to discuss how Jesus gave His life in order to give us life.
The one cup of sugar represents the sweetest part of the story that Jesus died because He loves us.
These mounds represent the rocky tombs where Jesus's body was laid.
We sealed the tomb. We can't wait to see what we find on Easter morning.

The boys loved doing this last year. We didn't do it this year (too tempting for me-I don't have your willpower, but it is getting easier!), but we enjoyed making and hunting for Resurrection eggs.
