Passover....What are ya'lls plans to celebrate? Is the first night or the last night of Passover, the "big" night or is there something every night? Easter....What's everyone doing? We will go to church Sunday am. All my family is coming over here. I am going to cook a couple of briskets, found some cute bunny pasta for a pasta salad, making these fantastic green bean bundles wrapped in bacon and marinated in brown suger, soy, butter and garlic. My dad's wife is bring baked beans, cousin is bringing potato salad, aunt is bringing fruit salad and deviled eggs. I will make some appetizers and a couple of desserts. We are doing an Easter egg hunt. There are four kids, 2 boys,14 and 2 girls 10 & 11. We are letting the boys hide the eggs for the girls to find and then vice versa. There will be various amounts of money in the eggs with one $5 egg for each hunt. We are also going to tie the kids together wrist and ankle and have them hunt eggs filled with puzzle pieces, they then solve the puzzle and they will win a prize.

I will be tied to the organ bench for the next several days. SIGH! It's a lot of extra work for we who put on the services! At least my choir stopped squawking about the Easter anthem tonight. I will be eating Easter dinner at the local doctor's house. I teach his wife and daughter piano lessons. She is an excellent cook and told me not to bring anything. I said don't worry, I won't have time to cook! I'm grateful that I don't have to get the "easter bunny/eggs" things ready for kids. I won't be seeing my family at Easter this year. Hazards of being an organist...you miss the religious holidays with your family unless they visit you. Texannie...I think that it is interesting that you put money in the eggs. My ex-sister-in-laws family did that, too. Only the two year olds would pick up the real eggs, as even the three year olds knew that the plastic eggs had money in them!

Schoolmarm, I sort of understand your business. I used to be head of the drama ministry at our church and would have to write and perform in 4 services. Sounds like your dinner will be a nice reward. This is actually the first year that it's money. We always did candy, and to make it fair to the little ones, everyone could only get "x" number of eggs. The older ones started complaining that it was "communistic" and it should be every man for himself (think they slept during the sermon! LOL) We decided to do money this year, but let everyone get as many as they want on the assumption that maybe the kid with the most might just end up with change..we'll see. But now it's supposed to rain and be cold. grrrr

I have no plans other than church on Sunday, and I like it! First weekend in a long time with no soccer, softball or other activities planned.

We're driving to New York on Sunday, so we're celebrating Easter on Saturday. No big affair -- just having my dad and DH's mom over for ham, etc. I can't wait till my boys are old enough for egg hunts and all of that!!!

We're going to my sisters for an egg hunt and lunch. Everybody they know is invited. We also do the plastic eggs (some have money, some have candy) and that has got to be the funniest thing to see. We end up having to send the kids back out for the real eggs, lol, they run right past them because only the plastic eggs are worth it. This year we have tickets to a baseball game, so we will sneak away for a few hours for that, before heading back to my sis's.

We have the flu here at my house <sigh> so we're not doing anything. I don't even think I am going to cook. I did manage to get an Easter Basket for Zachary, though I am such a bad Mommy I didn't get him one with candy. I hope he isn't too tramatized! Here is his basket

Actually, I should qualify that a little -- any time I spend ... ever ... with my hubby is fantastic, and I'm thankful for it. But each of our families are "fractured" a bit this year, and we made no plans for ourselves for Easter, and that's why I said "blah"!

That is a good Easter basket, Zmom. Get well soon. No plans. The neighbors smoked a turkey last night and gave us half of it, so we have some holiday meat, lol. Oh! And they gave us an Easter basket too. Yay neighbors! Sheesh, we sound like skid row derelicts relying on the kindness of the neighbors. We are heading out with our tin cups now.

Didn't want to jinx it ahead of time by saying anything, but we had an awesome Easter service today. I'm the contemporary worship service coordinator and praise team leader for my church and I've been sweating bullets for the last week. But the band was amazing, nailed everything and even got a standing "o" for some original words we wrote and performed to the tune of "Cover of the Rollin' Stone" (Our Easter message was "Big Rolling Stone"). I never saw our congregation rock and get into a song so much! Now we're off to brunch and celebrate, since all the sweatin' and worryin' is done!
