Happy Easter 2019! (Siobhan)

~Easter 2019~

I had such a wonderful Easter break! My roommate, Miriam, and I went home for the weekend. We had a belated birthday celebration for Miriam and enjoyed an amazing Easter dinner on Sunday. It was definitely a much needed time of rest before the craziness of finals!

 Since Miriam didn't get to celebrate her birthday at Covenant, we celebrated with her! Mom made a beautiful gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate cake, and Ethan sketched a beautiful drawing of the two of us for her...

Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate on Friday for our family picnic, so we ate our sandwiches in the car and went on a wet trail walk. We still had a great time!

 Easter Eggs

Baxter loved decorating eggs. He keeps making the funniest faces during this video because he thinks I am taking a picture of him!

 Next we made "Empty Tomb Rolls." These were so easy and fun

First we rolled out crescent rolls...

 Then we dipped marshmallows in butter, followed by a cinnamon-sugar mixture. We put a marshmallow in the middle of each piece of dough and pinched the sides shut over the marshmallow.

We baked them in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes, and the marshmallows melted, leaving an empty roll, symbolizing Christ's empty tomb.

Easter Sunday was so beautiful! We were able to get a good amount of family pictures.

 By far my favorite pictures are of these two! They have both developed such unique personalities, and it is so much fun to see them grow up together...

 Happy Easter from Baxter and Cade!

Going Home (Siobhan)

 ~Weekends at Home~

I am so thankful to be able to go home for weekends now that my family is only 2 hours away! My family completely spoiled me over my birthday weekend, and we had a wonderful time with Matt over my spring break. I'm counting down the days until Easter break!

Brandan has always been my buddy. He greets me on the phone with a cheerful, "Hey, Siobhan!! How was your day, and what made it okay?!" He always knows how to make me smile and is always ready to start a baking project with me...

Baxter and Cade love to help out in the kitchen! I let them do a baking project with me over break, and they were so funny. They both shared so well and took turns carefully adding in every ingredient. When I'd ask whose turn it was, Baxter would always say, "ME!" Cade was such a good sport and always let Baxter go first.

Skating!!

I love you all and miss you so much!
