Re: ••••• 2IF Weekly Check-In •••••
QOTW: Nothing particularly unique. My family tends to fluctuate from year-to-year what we do. But a picnic or barbecue is usually on the agenda. This year DH and I are going to brunch at SIL's house and then barbecue at my parents house in the evening. That's after church in the morning of course. It's going to be a long day, so DH decided to take Monday off. I'm looking forward to Monday.
QOTW: no real year to year traditions, just kind of winging it... Easter basket for everyone but me! (Not complaining, just gotta put them together)

cd 22 and 9dpo. I HAD to POAS today. Negative. So I will try to hold out til Saturday, Monday the latest to POAS again. I just wanna pee on anything that will possibly show me a line.
We usually bbq with the family that lives close enough to get together with and hide eggs for my niece and DD
Traditions: we are an interfaith family, so we do both Passover and Easter. No major traditions other than normal stuff though.
We usually do an Easter basket, and color eggs. Someone does a dinner and we either go to that or host one, but nothing major.
We go to church and go to brunch with my mom's side of the family (20ish people)
For easter we go to my MIL's. We work on a strict division of holidays due to having three sets of parents to visit and split the holidays between.

We don't have any real traditions yet. This year we are going to the zoo. Once the boys are a little older, we will do the Easter basket hunt that my mom used to do with us. She would hide clues in the plastic Easter eggs and we had to go on the hunt for our baskets.

QOTW: we have always done Easter at my mom's/DH's mom's house. this year was the first time I got to cook for just us three (myself, DH and DS.) DS is just old enough now to "get" easter egg hunting, it was really fun to start our own tradition.
