Resurrection Rolls

I wish I had posted this BEFORE Easter...because it sure was a fun thing to do! If you haven't seen this, you'll have to do it next year...or just go ahead and do it now, even though Easter is over. Jesus is alive now and forever, so I think it is appropriate to do these anytime! We actually did these for the first time over Easter weekend on Thursday while we were over at Jason's parents house. I had intended on doing them Easter morning with the girls, but I hated to wake them up any earlier than I had to. Bless their hearts, they got PopTarts for Easter breakfast instead. We made these this morning...seems that Macy has caught my cough, so she wasn't feeling up to being in the kitchen...which is why only Lucy is in these pictures. Let me add that Lucy did these ALL on her own, once I had gotten all of the ingredients ready.

First, start off with a jumbo marshmallow...this represents Jesus' physical body after His death. Dip the marshmallow in melted butter...this represents the oils they anointed His body with.
Then roll the marshmallow in a cinnamon sugar mixture...this represents the spices that they rubbed on His body before wrapping it in burial clothes.

Lay the marshmallow on a crescent roll triangle...this represents the tomb where Jesus was buried.

Roll it up...

Totally cover the "body"...

Seal the "tomb" real tight...

Put in a 350 degree oven and bake for about 12 minutes.

Here is the tomb where Jesus was laid...

Open the tomb to reveal that He is no longer there!

Now celebrate God's love with your child and tell of the wonderful things He has done!
