Easter Plans

Ms.Jade

What will you do on Sunday (if anything)? Any traditions? What's on the menu? What's in the Easter basket (if you plan to do one).

For us, this is a weird year. Easter is usually my holiday meaning that I host both of our families and in-law families.  My brother's wife brings her family and my sister's husband brings his. About 25 people! We chose this because the weather is nice and everyone can sit and eat outside since our house is really small inside. But this year a close friend is getting married on Sunday so my mom is taking over hosting. We'll have the usual - lamb, ham, rice, potato salad, asparagus, carrots, carrot cake and my mom's famous strawberry cake - just at my mom's instead of my house.

We're using E's same basket from last year and putting in bunny fruit snacks, a book that's part of a series she likes (this one features a bunny), a bunny chalk holder I got in the dollar bin at Target, her wooden egg with her name on it, and a needle felted egg handmade for her by my boss who also did Waldorf with her kids and knows about all that handmade stuff in that tradition.

Spill the Easter details!

My brother and his wife have plans with her family Sunday afternoon, so we are having a big family thing Saturday with my mom's side of the family. The kids will hunt Easter eggs and we will have lunch. Sunday, we will be going to church, then I'm sure

We are all going to my parent's house for the weekend. My brother's family will be there too so DS will be able to spend the weekend with his older cousins. DS absolutely adores the 10 yo and thinks she is a hoot! On Sunday we will go to my Mom's churc

We are starting the morning off with a Gator-only Easter egg hunt in her 94.5-year old great grandpa's yard. I put yogurt melts and Cheerios in the eggs. We were going to do it in our yard but figured great grandpa would love to help her find them in h

Wishful-I've never heard of a reusable swimmie diaper, where would you get one?  That would be really helpful for C, since we do swim lessons 2x a week

I just found out I'm hosting it. Crap! My aunt who usually comes up is mad at me because I didn't call her to tell her my thyroid was cancerous so she's not coming like she usually does. We will do an egg hunt after an early dinner [my brother works at 3p

Chunstad: they also have them at Cotton Babies. We got one for Gator, but I still end up using Little Swimmers twice a week. Haha

We're doing Easter with the inlaws.  I am 100% not looking forward to it.  I've already got the lecture from DH about not saying anything when they serve food I can't eat because it's Passover...like it is every Easter for the past 13 years I
