How do you celebrate Easter? Even though my kids are older now, and the Bunny has been found out, we still celebrate the holiday in much the same way we did when they were little. I make Easter Baskets of some sort for them. I hide eggs for them to find in an Easter Egg Hunt.
Tip: to keep your older kids interested, instead of candy or colored eggs, hide plastic ones with cash in them.
We have dinner with family and friends. I over-bake when I am entrusted with bringing the dessert course and then over-eat everything put in front of me. I always make “Church Window” cookies in honor of my grandmother. She always made them for me growing up because I loved them and she loved me. I still do the Easter Egg Hunt because my father loved to do that for us when we were little and so now I do it for my kids, but also to honor my dad.
I went for a walk on the beach this morning and was thinking about how Easter was my father’s favorite holiday (I think) and St. Patrick’s Day was my mother’s favorite. I wondered what my kids think my favorite holiday is?

Belated Easter wishes to you and your family! 🙂
Thank you! And the same to you!
I love how you shared the memories of your parents’ holidays. My children have to know that Easter is my husband’s favorite holiday, but I’m not sure they know it’s mine too.
I asked my kids after I wrote this post and neither of them had any idea. Now they do. 🙂
