Easter has always been one of Beth’s favorite special days. It might have to do with the fact that her family has a tradition of putting cash into the Easter Eggs. I still remember the looks on the faces of the triplets when I was made aware of this fact. You’d think junior high kids wouldn’t cry and complain when someone faster and stronger found all the eggs!
The last six years we’ve never had the same group of people at our house for Easter. In case you were here yesterday, our group this time was perhaps the best group ever. We celebrated and enjoy being with a different group of people each year. The more the merrier is always the motto for Easter.
Beth’s assistant coaches came over for lunch and we had fun talking about Easter traditions. One of the girls was from the Sacramento area and it seems her family also put cash in the Easter eggs. Must be a California thing.
Our kids are growing out of the Easter egg hunt. Maybe it’s because we have yet to put cash in the eggs. I do remember when we would spend the next week hiding the plastic eggs through out the house. The kids would spend days hiding and searching for the eggs.
The memorable experience this year has been the Star Wars Easter egg characters. The egg is a perfect shape for R2 and Yoda.
So let’s here about the fun Easter traditions you remember, the traditions you’ve kept and perhaps even those you wished your family still observed.
