I love traditions and try to have some for all big occasions! Our first Easter tradition is to watch Hop (2011) on Easter Saturday. Not that Angus and Brodie need any encouragement to get excited about the Easter Bunny coming but it gets us in the mood!
The boys each have an Easter basket that we fill for them. Stu and I usually get the boys one semi big gift and them some little things which is from us. The Easter Bunny leaves an Easter egg for the boys and then he leaves some little eggs all around the house for the boys to find in the morning. This year was no different and the boys had great fun searching for all the little eggs!
Stuart’s parents were also here this year so there were some extra presents from them and some other family members! The boys very very spoilt and very lucky!
Our other tradition at Easter is to hard boil eggs and then decorate them. We then take the decorated eggs to a hill and roll them! Stu and I have done this for years and I always did this as a child so it’s really nice to continue with our children.
After we rolled our eggs we spent some time in the park playing and enjoying an icecream!
We went home for some bacon rolls before we went along to the Easter get together in our estate. We are so lucky where we live, it’s such a lovely friendly estate and so family focused. Every Christmas, Halloween and Easter they have a get together for the children. For Easter this includes a sweetie hunt, egg and spoon races, face painting, egg decorating competition, colouring, a raffle and food, including cakes, hot cross buns, teas and coffees. The children really love it and it’s lovely to see our neighbors and catch up with friends.
Normally on Easter Sunday I would cook a big roast dinner and we would spend the rest of the evening eating chocolate but as Stu’s mum was here she offered to babysit for us so we had a quick pasta tea and then Stu and I headed out to the cinema. It was a perfect end to a really lovely Easter!
