Small Successes

Every success, no matter how big or small, is important! So here I am, once again, sharing those successes of mine from the past week. The first two are actually our family's successes.

1) On Good Friday, we did the Stations of the Cross box. I put together a box of items representing each station. Casinodad & I took turns reading from "The Way of the Cross for Children" while each munchkin took turns finding the specific item from the box for each station. This was a great way for all of them to understand the Stations & they want to do it next year too!

2) We made Easter Story Cookies the night before Easter. Each ingredient & step represents a part of the Passion (ex. the beating of the pecans represents the beating of Jesus by soldiers). There is also a Bible passage to go along w/ each step. The cookies are left in the pre-heated oven overnight (the oven gets turned off) & in the morning they are hollow, to represent Jesus' Resurrection & the empty tomb.

3) You've heard the expression - "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" In my case, when life hands you eggs, make egg salad! My MIL asked me to make deviled eggs for Easter Sunday's dinner. Well, the eggs had some separation issues! They didn't want to come apart from the shell, no matter what I tried. So, I made egg salad!
