Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that you take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I?ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you?d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life. Don?t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question this week is:
Do you have Easter traditions? What are they?
I do the whole Easter basket thing and the kids find it. We used to do an egg hunt, but last year they got bored with it. Maybe they’re getting too old. We usually have Easter dinner with the man’s dad and sister, or go by one of my aunts’ or uncles’ houses. This year, I’m really not sure what we’ll be doing. It’s only 2 days away and we haven’t made any plans.
Well growing up there was a lot of stuff that went on, church, Easter Bunny, family… Now since we live away from everybody and have no kids yet, we dont really do to much aside from make a dinner and spend time together.
Easter traditions growing up was church and an egg hunt in our living room. Baskets, etc.
Now? We're still working on figuring that out. Charlie gets a basket with fruit snacks and books… and I'll be making Easter dinner for the three of us. Maybe when we find a church that fits our families needs we'll add Easter service to our tradition.
WE wake the kids up in the morning to search for Easter eggs then we have breakfast and off to the aunts later on for dinner
We were just talking about what to do special for Easter. No decision made but still considering. We will probably just have a nice family dinner and talk about the meaning of Christ's resurrection and how we are saved from our sins because of it!
I don't have a tradition for our family as yet, but for now we do worship , egg hunt and dinner.
Absolutely! Spending time with family and Easter egg hunt for the grandkids!
My teens have had the same Easter baskets since they were born. We go to Easter Vigil service and then spend Sunday together. My AF: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/04/aloha-friday-2-april.html
We never really had any easter traditions when i was growing up, maybe I'll start some of my own when i have kids?
church in the morning, an easter egg hunt at home, and a big family dinner. 🙂
We do a big family dinner with an egg hunt for the littles.
Nope- sorry 🙂
Have a great weekend!

We dye eggs (I think tomorrow we'll do that) My two kids get Easter baskets from "The Easter Bunny", which sadly they don't really believe in it anymore.
Then we go to my mother's and she has an Easter Egg hunt there – which her & my sister put $ in the eggs. So the kids love it – they make out on the $ – lol.
Hope you have a nice Easter?
we attend church as a famly and always a easter egg hunt and a few peeps to boot
Just the usual . . . dying and hiding Easter eggs.
My son just turned two. We are just starting some. We dyed eggs and went to a hunt at a friends house.
Easter egg hunt Sunday morning followed by dinner here with the boyfriend's mom…the boyfriend is cooking! lol.
We are Jewish, so we will have another quiet day of Passover. If the weather is nice we hope to take the kids to the park.
You know, we used to have a few traditions like getting together and having an Easter egg hunt, but now that we're older, we really just spend family time together.
Happy Friday!
We do the same thing you do with hiding the easter baskets.
We hide eggs for the kids in the morning and give them Easter baskets usually filled with anything but candy because later in the day we go to my husband's side of the family and they give the kids baskets overflowing with candy. We stay there for the day, watch golf (blah) and eat lasagna, meatballs, and rigatoni – they're Italian, bet you wouldn't have guessed!
Happy Easter!
