Paska

We enjoyed our first batch of paska this week. It only took two days for all three loaves to be eaten up. We love this recipe http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.ca/2009/03/paska-lovellas-recipe.html. It's not the traditional recipe that I'm used to, the one that my oma makes. However it's super tasty. I made a cream cheese icing and added coconut extract. So good!

We've been talking a lot about Easter this week. It's so hard to explain the meaning of Easter to toddlers. In Sarah's mind, Jesus is just a baby (Christmas wasn't that long ago). She can't seem to understand how he was just a baby and then he grew up, let alone died and rose again. Sarah keeps asking where Jesus is and why we can't see him. So many hard questions and no easy to understand answers.
