A Seder Dinner

Since we will be celebrating Easter a little differently this year, we've been trying to add in some Easter activities that we might not normally do to make up for the fact that it will be a quiet holiday.

Last weekend after our online church in the living room, we set up a Palm Sunday parade with paper palms and robes of colorful scarves and everyone had a turn riding through the crowds of cheering onlookers pretending to be Jesus riding on a donkey (our toy ride on puppy).

Last night, we had a Passover dinner where we celebrated Passover in a less ritualistic manner than would be typical of a Jewish family, but with a similar menu. Each item we ate had a Jewish and Christian meaning. We found our inspiration for the meal here. The kids' favorite part was the homemade matzoh, which was just about the easiest thing to make with four kids, unless you try to do it by the Passover regulation and complete it from first combination of ingredients through baking in 18 minutes or less.

While no one was really very excited about the actual food (except Daddy), everyone tried everything and it was a fun tradition to start. Looking forward to next year!
