Our Easter is pretty typical. The day before Easter, we color eggs with the kids. Last year my daughter and I tried dyeing eggs using natural food dyes (like turmeric or raspberries) and that didn’t work so well. It stunk up the kitchen and made a huge mess, all for some rather ugly eggs. :)
Easter morning, the kids wake up and check out their Easter baskets. They usually get things like sidewalk chalk, bubbles, or other springtime, outside toys, along with a chocolate bunny. The Easter bunny also hides plastic eggs around the living room. The eggs either have jelly beans or change in them.
We eat breakfast, put on some nice clothes, and have Easter dinner at a relative’s house. This year my sister-in-law is hosting. I’ve been asked to bring dessert, so I think I’ll make some ricotta cookies and a lemon cake. We eat a lot, and if the weather is nice, take a walk or spend time outside to burn off those extra calories from a big family meal. A couple of years ago we had a beautiful, warm Easter day. My husband, kids, and brother-in-law started a game of football in the yard. They were all wearing nice clothes, like khakis and sweater vests. The pictures we took looked like some kind of Ralph Lauren ad!
That’s about it. Not terribly unique, but we have a good time and the food is always great. :)
