It is hard to believe that Easter is already here. This year is going by so fast, it seems. It just hit me that I need to get to the store and shop for our weekend and meal! I think it is going to be pretty quiet around here. My son has to work so he will eat and be gone. Perhaps we will invite the neighbors over. They seem to enjoy it and we love their company. Now I need to decide on a menu. I know ham will be on it for sure!
Do you have big family gatherings on Easter? I know many families that will go to a park and have a huge picnic with all of the family. It seems like a smart thing to do when there are many. We usually go to church and I prepare something easy for breakfast and then eat our big meal in the mid afternoon. It works out well because then I only have 2 meals to prepare! Plus I have no little kids at home, so I don’t have to worry about the bunny thing anymore either. I do usually leave something out for the boys anyway. They get a kick out of it. 🙂
Share with us what is going on at your place this holiday? What’s on the menu? I need some ideas!!
I did all kinds of research this year on cool Easter recipes but my daughter wants me to bring a pineapple upside down cake, so that is my contribution! I also made the cutest bunny tee shirt for my little grandson! We are going to watch him do his first egg hunt and my daughter’s in laws will be there also.
We don’t have a big meal on Easter, but we do get the chocolate bunnies for my niece & nephews. Actually, they found them early & already ate them, lol. (Ham sounds good, actually!)
Going to a friend’s house. She’s cooking a ham and I’m bringing some salmon to grill. Baked asparagus with garlic & sea salt.
Like another poster, many of our family is gone now. It used to be a huge deal with a family dinner. Nw we watch the Easter specials on TV aand reflect on the day.
We used to get the whole family (uncles, aunts, cousins, everyone) together at this time of year. It gets me sad, now, though – so much of the family has passed on, and the others are old and sick. It’s just another ordinary day now. My soul for a time machine!
This year we are going to,our son’s place and eating out for Easter dinner. There are no little one around right now, so no special Easter hunts, just family together.
We usually do some grilling in the backyard for dinner after everyone does their own Easter Egg hunts and breakfast in the morning. We grill fish, steak and burgers and others bring the salads etc. Works great.
