We’re not churchgoing folk, but Easter is one of my favourite times of the year. I can’t believe it’s just around the corner.
I love our Easter traditions.
For awhile we successfully convinced our children that the wild rabbits in our neighborhood were part of an army of spies for the Easter bunny, who watched children to see if they’ve been good all year. (Whatever works, right??) Emma has cottoned on, but I’m not so sure about Sarah. Long ears for better hearing, brown fur for camouflage … make sense to me too. :)
Creating family traditions is one of of the most fun things about being a parent. We are able to break away from some our own family traditions and create some new ones.
Another Easter tradition of ours (and I know I have written about it before – but I truly love it) is that all of our plush rabbits – big and small – magically convene in the living room on Easter morning to welcome two new bunnies to our ever-expanding bunny family. It’s a miracle, and it happens every year. It’s amazing how much they’ve multiplied over the years.
I want to add to this tradition by making Easter bunny prints on the floor this year, using a template of bunny feet and a dusting of cocoa powder. Just for fun.
We also like to dye eggs, bring branches from the outdoors for decorating, and eat lots of chocolate. It can be a lot of work sometimes (ok, maybe not the part about the chocolate) but it makes me so happy.
What are your Easter traditions?
