What are you all up to for Easter this year? Any family traditions you'll be continuing, or new ones you'll be starting? And how many chocolate eggs/bunnies will you be eating?

Warbirds over wanaka!!!WOOOOOOO!!!!

I'm very excited! Lol.

I hope we will do a easter egg hunt. We're going away with my parents... Dunno how they'll feel about doing it for their 20-something year old children and son in law... LOL. It's worth asking, right?

Gah... it's early enough to be thinking about easter plans? Damn... I'd better start making some! I've booked the rest of the week off as leave (us Uni staff get Mon AND Tue off, so I only had to book Wed, Thur and Fri), but I haven't actually worked out what we're doing in that week!

As far as eggs, we don't really do much. When Bubs arrives I'll hide some eggs for him/her, we used to love our egg hunts as kids.

And Mum still gives us eggs, and we're 20-something too

We're having DD's christening and belated first birthday party, as it's the only weekend my family can escape work/uni! Looking forward to seeing everyone, and hopefully will get eggs.

2nd year running (so a newly created family tradition ) we are going to Kerikeri caravaning. We have friends who own 10 acres and they have set up part of their acreage as a camp ground just for their friends, complete with refridgerator, out door fire, dishwasher, microwave, sink with running water and bush bath! This year there is 40 people, kids & adults, going.
Last year we rented a caravan but this year at Christmas we purchased our own, so yay!
I have bought a cute little wire basket for egg collecting, I plan to do an egg treasure hunt for the little one, and yes Mum & Dad will be indulging too!

We are going camping at Awakeri (near Whakatane) for 3 nights. I'm taking the mini caramel filled eggs to do a little hunt for the kids but that all I will buy. (Probably!!)

Every easter weekend for the past 4 or so years, we spend Saturday and Sunday in town at the Tga jazz fest.  Normally Saturday we go as a family and sit in the cafes along the strand and eat and drink and listen to the bands play.   Then Sunday just Dh and I go in for the afternoon.

 

This year Dh's family is having a get-together at dh's dad's place in kaitkati so we're having a big family lunch/dinner (probably having the Spit company do the catering), then spend sunday in town at the jazz fest.

 

I won't be going hungry that weekend!

My babies:

R (9),G (7), J (5)

We are moving the weekend before so I have no idea what is happening that weekend.

I am going to try and get up to Rotorua for my cousin's 40th birthday. Fingers crossed I can get up there.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Nothing much this easter, MILs birthday is the following weekend and we'll be down in Welly for a contact course.

If eating hot cross buns and easter eggs can be considered a tradition well that's ours.

This is also going to be a year of 'lasts' - last Easter before we become parents enjoying having two days of work and a sleep-in I think.
