Sharon’s Easter started with an egg hunt on Good Friday…

“My parents do an egg hunt for the boys – they have to solve the clues to find the eggs hidden around the garden ”
~Sharon Topliss

Erica enjoys leaving clues for the egg hunt…

“It’s a tradition… we only do it for Lee now but I know he gives his dad some of his egg. I actually got Lee an English Easter egg (from the English shop) with a mug, all the rest of the eggs were those tiny things hidden around the house.”

We have an Easter hunt each year on Easter Sunday. The kids have a wonderful time searching for the eggs in the living area around the house. Here is a layout from last year’s hunt. The kids are showing off their ‘findings’.

Happy Easter everyone!
Well our kiddos are in bed and anxiously awaiting the Easter Bunny! Tonight we made easter bunny calzones and for desert they had ‘carrot’ crescent rolls stuffed with vanilla pudding (tinted orange) with a bit of celery greens sticking out
Tomorrow morning they will get up to the tradition of finding all the hidden eggs (the easter bunny always leaves a note as to how many there are to find!). Then the easter bunny also hides their baskets and leaves clues as to where to find them. When the kids were younger they were pictures clues, now they read a clue which brings them to the next clue and so on until they finally find their baskets. We are already planning for when they are teenagers as they will have to drive to their grandparents for a clue etc. hehehehe This year, we planted the magic jelly beans (mommy, daddy and kiddos) to see what will happen! Tomorrow they will discover four large rainbow lollipops in thegarden!
It is fun to learn what others do for their Easters. My sister-in-law doesn’t do anything for her daughter (who is the same age as our daughter, 6 weeks younger actually). But then again, she doesn’t even throw her birthday parties. It makes me sad, but my mother in law (who thinks the sun rises and sets on her daughter) responds as “well, Katie doesn’t know any differently”. Which I don’t agree is necessarily true, she definitely notices the difference and goes to school so hears classmates talking about it as well. But again, that is what makes us all unique and the world function! My way is fine for my family and her way is fine for her family. It doesn’t make either way better than the other.
Anyways, have a wonderful holiday my friends
Blessings & Cheers,
Beth
