Fun Easter Holiday Preparations

This is a special week, as you all know. I grew up Lutheran and we call this Holy Week in preparation for Easter Sunday. Most evenings were spent in church from Wednesday on and special activities were planned for Sunday. Big family meals and fun for the children with egg hunts and plenty of food and friends around.

These days, with only 1 child and no family around us at all, it is a lot quieter at my home. I actually feel kind of bad for my son that he grew up without the big family gatherings and fun holiday preparation activities that I did. We do plan a nice family meal on Sunday after church and usually have other folks around the table that are “orphans” like we are, so it becomes a nice day. Sometimes we will travel to the Bay Area and spent it with my best friend.

This year, I have been so busy I have not had the time to plan what we are doing in just a few short day! ACK! I need to get on it. What does your family do during Easter week? Do you have special memories of fabulous activities with your family?
