My mum always used to do an egg hunt for us when we were little so she may do one for my nieces/nephews if we go over there, if not I will hide some little chocolate eggs in our backgarden. My family tend to buy eggs for Evan so I wont bother buying him any, but I like to get at least 1 egg too

. I think he ended up with about 6 eggs last year and he doesnt really like to eat too much chcolate so I ended up helping him out

We dont have have a big dinner or anything. My sisters and mum were talking about all of us going camping over the easter weekend but i think its still a little too cold for me to be doing that. It will probably just end up being a normal weekend really.

Cole you fast for a week???? I'd like to do an egg hunt but not sure mia will understand just yet and franky will only wreak it all for her as he's a lil whirlwind! So might just do something crafty like making cards or decorating eggs. I like to eat as many cadburys cream eggs poss

We do a little egg hunt for the kids, They get so much choc that I have to help out

with the eating as everyone buys them eggs. We go out for sunday lunch & get together with friends after. I might try the coloured boiled eggs for breakfast as Oliver loves eggs.

Oliver brought his nursery news letter home yesterday & they're having an easter bonnet party the thurs before so we've to make a decorated hat, I'm off to the pound shop for supplies when I go to town.

Gosh I love easter

Probably because it feels like winter is officially over not to mention yummy chocolate!!!

Unfortunately easter isn't a big deal here although the kids to egg hunts etc but all the easter chocolate here is yuk! We usually spend easter in the UK but won't be this year so I am going to order a few cadburys eggs for us. We will probably just do a dinner with friends. Easter eggs are so cheap in the UK nowadays. x

we normally have a big family dinner but not sure this year, the national trust are doing easter egg trails so we might take Jess to that as there is one close by. Easter trails

Last year we got Jess a small egg and then we bought her a toy from the disney shop, this year I've bought some play doh for her and will get a little egg, Sophie is too young for chocolate so we will get her something else. I'll probably make cards with Jess too xxx

We do the usual traditional where we have no meat and only fish on good friday we go to church Easter Sunday and then all have a large roast lamb dinner. I personally do not beleive in buying presents as I was brought up to beleive that you do not presents for someones death and the reason for eggs was to sympolize new begings a freash start for everyone x x

Just dot aload of eggs around the garden hun. They dont have to be hidden, the easier they are to spot the better for the kids but its fun for them to run around and see how many they can collect. You can even make a little basket with Mia aswell (just fold up some paper or card into a little box and put a handle on it) and decorate it so she has something to collect them all in.

You can buy wrapped chocoalate eggs quite cheap. Think I got mine from Lidl last year. I think Tesco do a little Easter Egg hunt box with chocolate eggs and baskets in them. Not sure though

And if your worried about Franky causing havoc, let him go first so he can collect some up then he can sit and munch his chocolate while Mia searches for her eggs.
