Easter is here in a day, and this is the first year I'm breaking tradition in 23 years or so. Traditionally, it would be my parents, my sis and I, grampa chuck and grama, or grampa chuck and bev (depending on what era you talk about), occasionally my aunt Tami whenever she lived nearby and my husband (in the most recent years) would go out to brunch on Easter morning. We would all get dressed up in our Sunday best, my sister and I would have new Easter outfits, and we would head to Shilo (in the early years) or Elmers (later on) for Easter buffet. There is nothing I enjoy more on Easter than to go to brunch with all my family. We'd spend a few hours talking and eating and then head back to the house, because the Easter Bunny came. Yes, even up until last year, the easter bunny still came. And then the Easter stock market was open for business. My sister and I would do a fast paced trade for jellybeans vs. chocolate eggs. I didnt like some jelly beans and vice versa. Last year hubs got into it too. And mom would eat the ears off our chocolate bunnies. (Mom tax.)
This year, we are away from family, and starting our own. So we are going to the Easter Service at our church, and then I will make Easter dinner. For two people, it will be ok. I will re-start the tradition when Baby X is 2 or 3. So I have a few years or non-tradition. Oh well. As long as I get my deviled eggs and sausage, fine.
Easter is a very uplifting time of year anyways, He has risen giving hope and light to the world, and we have many things to be thankful for. Hope you all have a wonderful Easter day.
