We had a rushed Easter this year. Andy was in Haiti and made it home Saturday night (click here for Andy’s photos). We visited my sister in Louisiana until early Friday morning (click here for pictures). So needless to say if my mom hadn’t bought and planned their Easter outfits, that never would have happened. Thank you Nana! They looked so cute and had a lot of fun at church. (click here for easter pics and some random family pictures) We watched the Veggie Tales Easter Carol, the God Rocks “The Rock that Rolled”, and made Easter Story cookies. We had never baked these cookies before. I had heard about them and had always wanted to try them. You read verses as you add the ingredients. The cookies have so much symbolism and they are fun to make. The kids liked smashing the nuts and smelling the vinegar. But the recipe calls for the whipping of egg whites. Me not being a cook, I had no idea how fragile egg whites can be. If you whip them too long, too short, too hard....they don’t turn out. Well, they did not. So I had soupy batter that was supposed to sit overnight on a cookie sheet. I decided to improvise and I filled muffin pans with the batter. It kind of worked and the next day we had hollow cookie like things. So the point of the empty tomb with hollow cookies was accomplished and the kids enjoyed it!
