Thanks for the chance to win! Both books are on my want-list :) I'm not doing much this year apart form hang around with my sister and maybe watch a couple movies and read and spent too much time online :P In the past we used to hide easter-nests with eggs&chocolate around the garden...
We usually do Easter baskets and hunt for Easter Eggs. Then go over to my mom's for an Easter Lunch. Church is usually so packed I skip it. I figure I'll give up my seat to someone who only goes on holidays. I do try to attend Good Friday Service.
My great grandma has these two little trees in front of her house and that we would decorate with plastic Easter eggs. We would stick string in the eggs and close them. Then, we would tie them on the tree. We don't have trees at my house unfortunately. :( I have been wanting to get my hands on Orleans because it sounds AWESOME! Happy Easter!
For Easter my husband and I dye the eggs with the kids and then hide them along with plastic ones filled with candy and coins for the wee ones to find. Then we walk to the park for the big easter egg hunt and play in the playground. We finish it all off with a nice dinner at my parents house. Oh, and of course there are easter baskets thrown in there too!
We used to do the whole church thing when we were younger, egg hunts, the whole nine yards. It was so much fun!! As everyone is older now and even the nieces and nephews have grown, we don't all get together so much. However there are still some of us who do so myself and my family (hubby and daughter, who is 19 so not so young!) and my parents head over to my older sisters and have a nice giant dinner and usually do the whole reflect back on the past (the good stuff) and eat like hogs and have a good ol' time!
The entire family, extended and all, goes to church, has a cookout, and then a scavenger. :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway. I'm looking forward to Orleans.
We strip the altar on Maundy Thursday and on Saturday we have an Easter Vigil. When we are done, we have the Tintinnabulation (everyone brings pots, pans, noisemakers, etc.) and there's a huge din, and then we have our After Lent party with dancing, live music, food, wine, etc. (I attend an Anglican church)
Sometimes on Easter we visit my husband's family and have a big meal, or we celebrate with friends. Not sure what we're doing this Easter.
Thanks, we are doing a basket hunt this year since everyone wants something different this year. I have grad school on Monday when we usually do the egg hunt...50% off candy that day to hunt for.
We don't celebrate Easter for religious purposes, but we get together for a family dinner every year. And husband & I are doing dinner with my dad & brother's family tonight since Sunday will be busy. :)
I love to celebrate Easter with my family and we have great food and chocolate bunnies! Happy Easter! Thanks for this amazing giveaway - I would love to win!
Now that my kids are grown, gone are the egg hunts, baskets, and Easter dresses. Now we still go to church and have Easter dinner. Although this year I think we are going to a brunch after church.
This weekend watched a movie (The Help)and the Walking Dead marathon getting ready for the finale, and have been Happy Easter Eggstravaganza hopping :) Thank you for your generosity and the fun.
To celebrate Easter me and my son usually dye Easter eggs the night before and then on Easter day I usually cook dinner and then we would go visit his grandmother but sadly this year we could not do that because she has passed away 2 months ago so this Easter didn't seem like Easter at all. Thanks for the giveaway!!
We don't really celebrate Easter in Singapore, but my family went to eat this special chilli prawn with tofu and chilli stingray! It was really good. ;P
When I was a Kid I used to go to see family and give a basket with chocolate to my brother, but now my family doesn't do anything so me, mom, dad and my brother just stay together and usually play games!
I hide Easter treats in the yard for the kids to find. I tell them how many there are, and they have to go around with the Easter baskets and find everything! They always miss the ones hanging on the clothesline :)
We color eggs and then we each get baskets filled with goodies and then we eat... If we are at my Uncles we go on a huge egg hunt with all the cousins! And we eat lots of food! It's a lot of fun
I didn't do anything this year because I only had one day off work and I washed clothes and cleaned. Most of the time we get together for a big family dinner and hunt eggs.
Happy Easter or should I say, Hoppy Easter! I love these hops so much! I try to do every one I come across. For this Easter, I celebrated by sleeping in and then going out for dinner and ice cream with my family. It was fun. I hope that your Easter was just as fun! Thanks for the giveaway!
When my kids where younger I would set up a basket for each of them with lots of candy and a big chocolate bunny and a few toys in there. Then we would have an Easter egg hunt. With the eggs that we had died the night before. My kids loved dying the eggs. I so miss that! I would also get plastic eggs and fill them with money and candy. I so miss those days!! Thank you so much for a chance to win and for being a part of this fun and awesome blog hop!!
We did a Christian Easter egg hunt where they were filled with an object that correlated to verses in the Bible - and as we went along, we each took turns reading the corresponding verses to tell the Easter Story in the end. They did get a bit of choc. but we emphasize the ressurection of Jesus. abrennan09@hotmail.com
We're not Christian but we didn't want to miss out so when my brother and I were kids, my mom used to hide candy. Since she didn't keep track of how much she hid and where, we would find some months later.
This year, my daughter(7 1/2)rec'd an Easter basket from her playmate's family. Now that she's old enough to be aware of special occasions/holidays, we'll make more of an effort to celebrate them and make them memorable for her.
I didn't really do anything special for Easter because my Relay for Life team accidentally scheduled a car wash that as team captain I was required to attend (we didn't have a single customer or a single team member to help so I ended it early). But for fun on the weekends we go to the theme parks, the local parks, or if it is a game day, we go see the Tampa Bay Storm arena football team.
