Easter

I've never had Easter Cheese...I think it's Russian, a homemade cheese thing. Maybe we should try it today.

So what is everyone doing for Easter?

We go to my sister's house (only 30 minutes from our house). Chris and my BIL hide plastic eggs in the yard for the kiddos (5 of them). Then we move on to Birthday Party stuff, as 3 of the kids all have birthdays within weeks of eachother, so there is one big family party combined with Easter every year. Then we eat ham, asaparagus & whatever else my sis has decided to cook. For the last few years she's gotten one of those spiral cut honey glazed hams from the special ham store. YUM!

We drink, we make merry and head home, exhausted from crazy children.

I'm hungry for devilded eggs.

I'm first!

I am jealous of that ham. Man, those Honeybaked Hams look good!

Easter used to be a BIG DEAL in our house and then as we got older it just sort of faded. Now we don't even really do anything. This year, we are going to Boston to visit friends. Just for a visit, not necessarily for Easter. We have to board Oopie Poopie for THREE days. I absolutely hate that. *sobs*

Since I'm agnostic & most of my family is non-practicing, Easter to us is more about the kids. If it weren't for the kids, we probably would all go to our in-laws instead, or possibly do nothing.

My MIL (who doesn't know I'm agnostic) sent us a few handwritten bible verses and some stories on prayer from a Guideposts yesterday. I still read them.

Sonya said...

We are going to my mom's for lunch. The whole family. Should be fun!

Bravie said...

I'm agnostic too so it isn't a big deal for me. But Michelle's family is Catholic and so it is a deal for them. We are going to BIL&SIL's house to watch the kids hunt for eggs and then we get to eat a lot.

Breezy said...

Not sure what we're doing; if anything. *shrug*

DD will be with her Dad most of the day. :(

~Nutz said...

I am probably going out to brunch. It's just easier that way.

I'm still not completely over your poop color post. *vomit*

HistoryDetective said...

I have no Easter plans. I'm boring that way.

kim (weltek) said...

Speaking of the poop post, is carey feeling better after the soup incident of yesterday? :-)

kim (weltek) said...

Breezy! Are you free to play? Everyone have their taxes done?

Bravie said...

Much better, thank you for asking. *grin*

Jen said...

Usually we would have Easter at my mom's house, but this year my sister is going to her in-laws. So, my mom and I (and her bf probably) are going out to eat and then to a movie.
I'm agnostic also, so it doesn't really matter to me what we do. But your post reminded me that we will have no deviled eggs since we're going out to eat. :(

In unrelated news, I just realized the venue I'm seeing INXS in only has about 2000 seats (it's a historic theatre), so my seats are sounding even better now.

kim (weltek) said...

I want to spend Easter with jen! I think you should make deviled eggs this weekend anyway.

Swami said...

Deviled eggs are the reason for the season. At least around here they are.

We are going to dinner at my DD's boyfriend's house. This is an ominous turn of events: Parents meeting the SO's parents. I don't like ham. I particularly don't like honey ham and ham cooked with all kinds of sweet stuff. But Tom loves it, so for his sake I hope she makes a big fat ham! He don't get that around here.

Breezy said...

Me no likey hot ham either, Swami. And it smells weird if you ask me.

Nope, still swamped Kimmers.

Zombs said...

Easter...funny story. We just found a dead bunny in our yard. Doggies got him.

Should I tell the kids that all bunnies die in our backyard? Would that make for a fun Easter?

kim (weltek) said...

Usually I could take or leave ham...no real feelings about it one way or another. However, those honeybaked ham ones from the ham store make me drool. I guess that makes me a ham snob.

Jen said...

Yay! Kim is visiting me for Easter!
*hops around like a bunny*
*stays away from zombie's yard*

*light bulb*
We are having a little cookout tomorrow for my mom's b-day. I could make deviled eggs for that.

kim (weltek) said...

Well then I'm coming for the cookout, too.

mm said...

Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned!

I like ham okay but deviled eggs...blech!

MM <--has childish eating habits

Jen said...

Cool! Be here around 1, mkay? :)

Debcapsfan said...

I have no plans for Easter either. ;)

Puffy said...

I have a few Easter and Passover comics on my blog. *shameless plug*

No plans for Easter, but I'm stuffed from Passover.

Seana said...

I envy your plans. We have nothing to do. Usually, someone in DH's family decides to have everyone over and then word gets around. This hasn't happened for the last couple years.

We'll have a hunt in the morning, a late lunch and then maybe go play at the park or something. It's supposed to be sunny.

Chrissy (woe) said...

NO plans, just loafing. I drive my 100 miles a day, six days a week, on Sundays I try not to leave the house.

Have fun tho! *smooch*

Sonya said...

Sorry, but you have been tagged on my blog.

momma said...

This Easter is rather relaxed. We will not be doing much of anything other than our own little egg hunts and whatnot around the house. The ex-inlaws took off for the lake, the current in-laws are at the farm, and we are at home.

Of course, this could all change at any given moment.

We all went to my parent's house on Saturday. Baked ham, baked beans, scalloped potatoes, salads and stuff. It was delicious.

We played Texas Hold'em and played with the kids. Today we slept in and then Dave washed my car. We went to a friend's house for a couple hours to visit with them and then came home for roast beef dinner.

When Jamie was little we would do a bunny trail with chocolate eggs from his bed to various little presents hidden throughout the house. Of course that was before we had a dog in the house. Chocolate eggs strewn all over the house wouldn't be a good idea these days.
