Easter Traditions

Another month with Lizzie , Sierra , Danielle , Emily, and Lindsay for Girl Chat...I love this link up and I hope you join in too!  This month we're talking Easter Traditions.

Actually I have to admit we don't have that man round our parts. I'm not sure why. Baby Fox is 6 and we have yet to die Easter Eggs, I think I always thought it was sort of dumb? Even as a kid I didn't really want to do it, so we've never carried on that tradition. Although this year, I did buy an Easter egg dying kit...so we'll see if we actually use it. I have 3 days to figure it out.

My number 1 Easter tradition is buying Easter clothes. I think this is the first year that I haven't bought the boys anything. I figure they can wear something they already have. Baby Fox has so many button down shirts of which he only wears to church, he doesn't need any more. Of course I bought something for Mini Fox, this is what I bought, which I show cased in my Spring wedding outfits post. That being said I had a few choices for Easter Sunday this year. I bought this dress, verdict is still out. Not sure if it's completely see through or not, I have been getting home after dark so I can't tell. I guess we'll find out soon enough. If that doesn't work out, I think I'm going to go with this outfit.




Here is a link on how I curl my hair.




Cause what girl doesn't like a twirly skirt?




We started the tradition of leaving empty Easter baskets outside of the Easter Bunny to fill because I want to be able to keep the same Easter baskets each year. We had to come up with something so that we could keep resuing them. We told the kids that you leave it outside and that the Easter Bunny knows when you're at church and comes during that time. It worked last year, hoping it works again this year. Of course we don't have pictures, but I do have pictures of the baskets filled up after we left them out overnight.


This is what their Easter baskets will look like this year.



Another tradition is that our local Real Estate agent hosts a Easter Eggstraveganza at our neighborhood park. Full of games, 2500 eggs and a bounce house. The kids love it every year.

I love taking pictures outside in our backyard, so I've tried to take a picture of us each year. Apparently this didn't start until Mini was born...

And then there was that time I tried to take pictures with the kids for the holiday...For the first year of their life, I did a themed photo shoot for each holiday

One of our Easter traditions is going to my Aunts house for a yummy dinner. She always has Easter eggs for the kids to find, and sometimes we find them, then hide them again so we can start the hunting all over again. And apprently I am really bad at taking pictures becasue I have random pictures from past Easter that make no sense...so you get two years, haha.

So those are our Easter Traditions. Not very many, and hopefully this year I'll be better about taking photos while at my Aunt's.
