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...
