We started the day enjoying Resurrection Biscuits. Barry and Charles helped the kids make Resurrection biscuits the night before. They put a marshmallow in the biscuit (to symbolize Jesus's body) and then put it in the oven (which was suppose to symbolize the tomb). They even had two guards on the oven and tape across the door. The next morning we turned the oven on and showed the kids that the body was gone (or melted as Amaris is famous for saying).
We then had a small Easter Egg Hunt in the house. After the hunt, as the older kids sat and ate their chocolate, we decided it would be a good time to weigh Addie (aren't you glad this is not a normal Easter activity for all!). We were delighted to see that Addie has now moved up to 10 lbs 8 ozs.
We then headed to church which is quite a task with 10 people and only a five seater car. Charles and Barry headed off to the bus stop with the five older kids and Lauren and I came later with Addie. I think riding the double decker bus was a real highlight for my six-year-old nephew, Joshua (and brother-in-law Barry!). After church we had a nice family dinner and then headed out to the orchard for a Easter Egg Hunt with people from college. I made two cakes and Charles read the Resurrection story from the Bible to the children. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from the day.
