Easter Party Ideas

easter party ideasEaster is almost here! What are you going to do on that day? My family enjoys an Easter basket made just for them. Then we go to church and enjoy the Easter service. We usually have a great time doing an Easter egg hunt in the yard and my favorite part of the day is the time spent with my family. I usually prepare a nice lunch and we enjoy a sit down dinner as a family. I like to set up a little buffet of treats to make the table look special and pretty!

We color our eggs the day before Easter. I only color about a dozen eggs because I hate to throw so many eggs away once we are tired of eating egg salad sandwiches! So we do our egg hunt with plastic eggs filled with treats! The kids love this!

Do you celebrate Easter in a special way?
