What are you doing for Easter?

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?

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.

Don't eat chocolate but going to Karamea for the first time, have rented an awesome bach so looking forward to some time away from work!

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!

We will hopefully be at home with a new baby 

this will be the first easter we will be doing something for Ella, so am planning on doing an easter egg hunt in the backyard.

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.

We will go to mum and dads in the morning they have 12 grandchildren and do a hunt for them (dh and i usually hide the eggs they supply them)
Then at 3 we are taking Emily to The Wiggles concert - i cant wait she loves them on the tv an cd so im excited for her!
