Easter Tomb

Take a can of biscuits. Flatten out each biscuit out with your fingers. Tell your kids they are making a tomb. Take a large marshmallow and explain that this represents Jesus. Put the marshmallow on the biscuit and wrap the biscuit around the marshmallow. Make sure all edges are sealed (pinch until no seam). Put a pat of butter on top. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon to represent the spices that were put on Jesus. Bake as directed on package. You may have to guess at this. After cooked, the marshmallow melts and is gone. Explain how Jesus is not in the tomb, He is Risen!

Another great CHRISTmas gift

I came across this and thought I would share . . . Sugar Body Scrubs!!!

Would this not be a great gift for your daughter to give to her friends (even her Teacher or Sunday School Teacher)this CHRISTMAS!?! Oh, you could even give it to your girlfriends. . . it looks SUPER EASY, plus very inexpensive.

Christmas Gifts from the Kitchen

Here is an idea that has been tossing around in my head that I wanted to share with you.

Every CHRISTmas the girls and I bake cookies for my husband to take to his work. We make little cookie bags, filled with a dozen for each one of his employees. Along with a sample tray to go onto the break room table. We do one main cookie and then on the sample tray we put that cookie along with cheese straws & fudge. This year I am thinking about making mini bunt cakes instead of cookies. Doing 3 min cakes per bag/box. Then for the tray do mini cupcake's of the same three mini bunt cakes, along with the cheese straws and fudge. So here are the the recipes we are leaning towards:

Chocolate Velvet "Pound Cake"

Zesty Lemon Pound Cake

Mini Raspberry Snow Cakes

I should also add that we make enough for the mail women, piano teacher, and a few of our neighbors. So tell me what you will be baking this coming CHRISTmas, or if you have a recipe: PLEASE share.

Blessings,

All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children. Isaiah 54:13

Wordless Wednesday

Our Valentine Party on Tuesday: The kids had so much fun. The Mom's had a wonderful time with some much needed conversation and laughter. Great Home School Therapy!!

The Sunday evening before CHRISTmas my Uncle, Aunt, my cousin Sharon and her family came over. Here is some pictures of our evening.

We all had a wonderful time. The kids baked cookies ( I will post these soon), we played cards and had a festive game of spoons. It was such a blessing . . . this is what family is all about.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and share some pictures from our day!

Breakfast was pigs-n-blanket, cinnamon muffins, beacon pinwheels and orange juice.

Our table filled with our Thanksgiving Dinner.

Dessert: Peanut Butter cake (Turkey make out of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups).

It's been a wonderful day! Tom & Reece just headed out to see if anyone is in line yet at the stores they want to buy things from.

The girls and I are getting ready to watch our favorite Thanksgiving Day Movie "Holiday Inn".

Happy Thanksgiving (Sunday)

This past Sunday we got together at my sister in-laws home with her family, my parents and my in-laws. We had a blast! She live on a old pecan orchard so after we all eat a fabulous lunch we went out to pick up pecans. Her are a few pictures I took of the cousins.
