Anyone have any big plans? Any special traditions? And if so...are you all ready?

Driving 3 hours to my mom's house for lunch with my extended family. Should be fun with a toddler, getting sore during the long drive, and car sickness/nausea getting worse.
We'll do an Easter basket with DS on Saturday morning.

No Easter traditions. This year we're staying home. We'll do an Easter egg hunt in town Saturday morning and go to church and brunch on Sunday. My husband and kids have Friday off so they'll go his parents' for the day to celebrate with them. I'm not at all sorry to miss it.
I think I have everything for Easter baskets. I'm doing an outdoor theme. They are getting binoculars, umbrellas, magnifying glasses, bug box, and butterfly nets. I got every one their own umbrella but only two binoculars, nets, and magnifying glasses. They can share. No candy or treats. We still have candy leftover from last Easter and the ILs usually give snacks.

i'm off friday and the kids are home- we'll dye eggs, and it's supposed to be warm so hopefully i can take them to a playground somewhere. i do easter baskets for the kids. i tried to get stuff that was practical/consumable. for both kids (they share a bed by choice)-- a spiderman sheet set. for DS1 (5.5): a small amount of candy, annie's cheddar bunny snack mix, a fossil dig kit and a gemstone dig kit, and a book. for DS2 (2.5), a small amount of candy, annie's cheddar bunny snack mix, a spiderman towel, a book, and finger paints. for easter we always go to my aunt and uncle's house and the kids do an easter egg hunt there. i guess i'll put the baskets together on saturday night. sometimes i bake something for easter morning, but i'll see how much energy i have on saturday.

I’m annoyed because plans are still up in the air. We may be having family over and we may not. I need to know either way!!!
Just doing small baskets for the girls.

MH will be working since he works weekends (that stops in July! 😊) so I'll go to my parents' for lunch alone. My sisters will be there also. If I didn't have to work Saturday I would go to church on Sunday, but I'd like to spend some time with MH since I won't see him Saturday.
I definitely plan to do egg hunts and Easter baskets for this little guy, probably starting next year even though he'll still be a baby.

My in laws are coming for the weekend. I wish it was over already :-( I plan to use the pregnant card to hide in my room as much as possible.

We're driving 3 hours to stay at my mom's. We're going to celebrate our anniversary while there and go out to eat Friday (kid free).
Only tradition is we do Easter baskets, church, and the church has an Easter egg hunt.

We normally do Easter at the IL's but since they're on vacation my mom and my brother will come over our house instead. I made an Easter basket for DS with some snacks, bubbles and couple small toys. I'm taking him to see the Easter bunny on Saturday and I plan on doing a small egg hunt at my house on Sunday.

We don't have family around so we're not doing anything. DD and I have a 4 day weekend (husband has to work Monday) so I hope we have nice weather. I have no idea how I am going to keep us entertained.

We usually go over and do an Easter egg hunt with my SIL and then dye eggs at home. For the last couple of years, we've also done a little Easter egg hunt for DS at home in Easter morning. I don't put much in his basket other than some candy and books. On Easter, we go to church with DH's family and then eat dinner with them.

We never really do anything for Easter. It's the one time of year I can usually convince DH to go to church with me, so we'll probably go to a service on Saturday evening and then go out to dinner after.

We're just going to DH's grandmother's. We'll have a big lunch and just hang out. I'm sure DS will get plenty of candy and stuff there.

My parents are here to take care of DD during her spring break, so they will dye eggs - Easter morning we will do an egg hunt, and she'll get a small basket, then lunch or dinner or something at my Aunt's about an hour away - my sister and BIL will be there, too.

We will dye eggs. Apparently H and DD couldn't decide what kind of kit to get at Walmart so they bought 3 of them. 🙄
I have some stuff for DD'S basket. We will have a little egg hunt in the morning and then my parents, sister and MIL/FIL are coming for dinner.
