Traditions that never die........

It seems to take just as long to get a blog done as it did to scrapbook!!!  Especially when we have to take turns to use the computer.

At the ages of 14, nearly 12 and 10 we were thinking that the annual 'Easter Egg Hunt' may have come to an end.  But no, all I heard all week was 'are we having an easter egg hunt?" are we having an easter egg hunt?"

So we went with it!  I don't know that this kind of tradition will ever end.

However we did start the Easter weekend with attending church on Thursday night to remember Jesus Crucifixion, followed by a traditional Passover dinner with Mikes brother and his family on Good Friday, and attended church on Sunday to celebrate Jesus Resurrection!!

And following all of that, on Sunday afternoon we sent the children to the bathroom while we hid the easter eggs.  And the older they get the more creative we have to get.  They know that there is always an egg in the pot plant, or on the giraffes ears etc.

So here are some pics...........

Can you see the little yellow speck in the middle??

Too easy!

Not many in that basket.

This is Tahlias basket she made for homework.

And whilst eating all that yummy chocolate, OF COURSE we had to paint eggs.  Another tradition we have done for about 10 years now.  I'm disappointed I have no photos or anything of all the eggs in the past.  Because the artist element sure has come a LONG way over the past decade!!

Unfortunately Mike had to milk so didn't get to paint any this year :( We were hoping he would do an up-date of his caravan.  Last year he painted a replica of his pop-top camper except now the pop top has had a 'make over' 

So the fun begins..........

So these are some of our traditions that we love to share with the girls.  I do hope they will continue for much longer, because it is these times that we set aside as a whole family to 'hang out' together.
