Starrs In Denver: Purim

Purim

Hope's curriculum had us read the story of Esther last week and had an activity of making hamentaschen cookies. They are shaped with 3 tips like Haman's hat. We enjoyed making them, eating them and gave a few away to neighbors. YUM! Desi rented One Night With The King on DVD for Hope to watch after school was done. What a great movie.

Esther was one gutsy girl...and followed God in amazing ways! What a great hero of the Bible for me and my girls.
