We take this time to reflect on our first Easter together. We just hit our 6th month Mark. Our group has went from just a hand full to so many our group page crashed and we had to make a new one. We are trying to move everyone over but it has been a task. We are hoping to have you all moved in the next week. We would hate to lose any of you. I am not going to type a huge page cause it is Sunday and we dont work on Sunday. So a Happy Easter to you and we love you and God Bless you and your families on this special. day.. He is Risen!!

chocolate covered peeps.
originally from Love From the Oven
12 peeps
1 bar ghiradelli white chocolate premium baking bar (OR 1 bar Bakers Baking White Chocolate Squares) – both found in baking aisle
sprinkles
DIRECTIONS
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a microwave safe bowl, break up the white chocolate bar into small pieces so they melt easily. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir for about a minute. The chocolate will continue to melt as you stir. If needed, microwave in 10 second increments until all is melted and smooth.
Grab a peep and gently dip it into the pool of melted chocolate. Shake off any excess chocolate. Sprinkle with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
Place each peep on parchment paper lined baking sheet and refridgerate for about 10 minutes for the chocolate to harden. Enjoy!

Glow-in-the-Dark Easter Egg Hunt: FUN for Older Tweens/Teens
Roll up the bracelet glow-sticks, put then in an Easter egg, and hide them around the yard. You could also do this in your house with the lights off.
Instead of putting candy in the eggs, we put coins inside (one egg had a $1 bill).
Because of the glowing effect, your eggs will stand out. You'll have to get creative when it comes to hiding them. We hid ours under rocks, under leaves, etc. to make sure they were well-hidden.
you can find the bracelets at dollar tree or any dollar store..
