Although we missed being with our family to celebrate, we had a nice Easter Day together!
We dyed eggs, but didn’t eat them because I forgot to put them in the fridge.
I got a whim to try making Swiss Easter bread, but I’ve never been successful at yeast dough...UNTIL NOW! It worked and it was delicious!
I can’t wait to try again and perfect it.
It was moist yet flakey and a nice golden brown on the outside.
I found a scavenger hunt on Pinterest that uses the Passion of Christ story with each clue that leads to Easter baskets, so we tried it out.
It was fun! And it kept me from missing them seeing their goodies due to still being asleep.
Augustine got Mexican Train Dominoes, Lewis got glitter slime, Elias got four new puzzles, and Levi got graham crackers. And chocolate bunnies of course.
We had Easter Sunday Mass as a family, plus Logan and I listened to Fr. Robert Barron’s homily on YouTube.
Augustine did a great job celebrating.
Lewis did a great job reading
After Mass the boys spontaneously set up adoration, so we went with it. :) Then Lewis suggested we make brunch instead of donuts, which was a great idea!
We decided to make lace pancakes because we recently watched the Great British Bake Off and this is what they made. I even found the show’s recipe.
Lace pancakes, bacon, hard boiled eggs, kiwi. After brunch we had quiet time, a family drive, and a movie afternoon. The boys also set up an elaborate truck game in the playroom.
For dinner I made pork chops, bacon wrapped asparagus, Easter bread with cinnamon butter, sautéed green beans, kiwi.
