Preparing for Easter with Pretzels


One of the more fun ways we prepared our hearts for Easter this year was by making pretzels.



Cooking is always more fun with friends.  We rolled and swung and shaped the dough.




I had forgotten how much fun a spunky preschooler can be!


Watching the kids work together and help each other made my heart happy.


Talking about the shape of the pretzel and how it represents our folded arms and hands in prayers gave us something to think about while we pummeled the dough into submission.


And when the pretzels finally came out of the oven, and the house smelled like a bakery,


we listened to a sweet voice offered up in thanks for pretzels 


and living out "in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Phil. 4:6)
