Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
How do you celebrate Easter?
We usually get together with my family for dinner. We also dye eggs and have an Easter egg hunt with all the cousins. Since I’m not feeling well this year, we’ll just stay home, decorate cookies, and do our own little Easter egg hunt in the living room.

We go to Easter Vigil service on Saturday and wake up Sunday, hunt for Easter Baskets and enjoy a day relaxing, eating candy and playing games as a family.
The kids wake up and find the eggs that the Easter bunny hides for them around the house. We have breakfast and then go to church. Then we go and visit with both of our parents. It is a pretty laid back day overall.
Hope you enjoy your Easter!!
We go to mass in the morning and then as long as the weather is nice we will go for a walk or something like that. Then we either go to dinner or make a nice meal at home. Sometimes we go to my mom’s but this year we cannot go.
We celebrate Easter by attending church and then having a traditionalfamily dinner. We read the Easter story from the Scriptures and have an Easter egg hunt with the grandchildren
Tomorrow we will go to church for Good Friday, and on Easter the boys will wake up, do the Easter bunny stuff, than we will head back to church, come home and have a nice lunch, and play!!!
We hide eggs for the boys, they find them, we have a big breakfast, and we just enjoy being a family. If it’s nice, we do a lot of outdoor activities.
We celebrate as a family by eating a big breakfast and doing the traditional Easter egg hunt.
Yes I celebrate Easter. We celebrate American Easter and Greek Orthodox Easter.
We don’t do too much special since kids are grown and I’m waiting for grandchildren to do the fun stuff with.
The kids & I will decorate some eggs on Sat. Sunday we’ll go to church & come home for the kid’s baskets. After that we’ll go to substitute grandparent’s for dinner & probably an egg hunt w/ their only bio grandbaby.
[...] time for Aloha Friday, a time when we take it easy and talk story. Kalani at An Isalnd Life started this. Go to her blog for more info on how to join. I am going to use this post as my [...]
With a nice simple dinner and a relaxing movie with family. Not traditional but it works for us.
Breakfast and egg hunt with the grandkids!
We get up find the easter basket, Then we go to my sister in laws for dinner and egg hunt for the kids then home to nap.
We have the kids look for their hidden Easter baskets, dinner and this year we’re doing our first Easter egg hunt.
We usually get up early and go to Sunrise Service on a mountain by our church, then back to the church for breakfast. Then home to change into out nice clothes, back for regular church service then home and usually to my grandmothers BUT this year we are all skipping church… I know… I am such a hethan…and I amcooking here.. so I will be cooking and hiding eggs all day LOL
I do an egg hunt with the kids and then take it easy for the morning. In the afternoon I’ll make some appetizers and start watching The Sound of Music. This year I may do an Easter Dinner but I’m still undecided as the kids fear my cooking so I don’t know if they’ll eat it, lol.
This year we will be eating Matzah for Passover
We usually get together as a family and go out to eat. This year I have also enjoyed taking Brea Easter egg hunting and have lots planned for tomorrow!
We live far away from family so holidays are usually pretty quiet. We’ll have too much candy, an Easter egg hunt and a nice dinner.
I usually visit my family that is close to where I live.
We do the Easter bunny thing and then head off to church. We will spend most of the days with our parents and have numerous egg hunts there!
Hope you get to feeling better! Happy Easter!
Egg hunt, Easter baskets, brunch & dinner with family. =)
Have a wonderful weekend & blessed Easter.
Sunday morning service followed by a day with family.
Our family attends church Sunday morning. Then we have lunch with our extended family and hide eggs for the kids.
We almost always head down to my mother-in-law’s for an Easter meal and egg hunt! This year my son is turning one the day before Easter, so we will be celebrating that too!
Definitely coloring eggs, making Easter baskets, and baking. Sometimes we go to a sunrise service at the Lake. This year, we’re going to Easter brunch at our daughter’s new home, then we’re doing whatever everyone wants for the rest of the day! HAPPY EASTER to all who celebrate!
We have ham dinner, and have an Easter egg hunt, and let the kids search for their Easter baskets.
Yes! This is one of our favorite holidays!
It’s actually a work day around here for all of us.
The weather is going to be spectacular!
We’re both off work, so Golf today with friends, watching the Masters all week-end, Church, being thankful for all that we have and praying for all those who are in need of hugs and prayers and hope! And somekind of Easter dinner with friends – no family here this year – kids in CA and D.C. and rest of family back in the Midwest! Happy Easter wk-end to you and your family!
We’ll dye eggs tonight and have an easter egg hunt in the morning. Then we have egg salad sandwiches (out of our eggs) for lunch and then a delcious ham, scalloped potato and roasted asparagus dinner.
Then we read int he scriptures abotu the Easter story.
In the past I haven’t done anything for Easter. This year we will take cute pictures of Lily. Next year when she’s older we will probably die some eggs and what not.
Morning Easter baskets!
Church
Hunting eggs
Meet up with family for a larger egg hunt.
I’m ready for a nap just thinking about it.
We used to go to Mom and Dads. Now that Mom passed away, we need to do something else. Last year, the first year after death, Dad and us went to the Mountains and played in the snow. that isn’t something I liked to do for Easter,but we need to do something. This year we will go to Sunrise service have breakfast and go to DC ,then come home and Cook Ham and Martian Beans. I miss or tradition with Mom
We celebrate Easter by doing an egg hunt at our home for our three daughters, dying eggs, attending church services on Good friday and on Easter, and by going to easter Dinner as my in laws.
We do the whole egg hunt and Easter basket thing! And then we go off visiting for the day!
The kids get up and go hunt eggs and we relax all day then have a family dinner later
Happy Easter everyone!
Normally, we’d wake up & find our baskets, go to church, come home & cook a big southern style Easter dinner…
However, I am leaving this Easter and my kids are going to be celebrating alone with just my husband and his Mother. I am bummed, but I’m sure they will still have a good time.
My best friend is dressing up in an Easter Bunny costume and will hand deliever their baskets this year. They are sure to get a kick out of that.
My whole family is coming to our place this year…I have to satisfy the Irish Catholics and Polish Catholics with my menu…ok…better get cookin’…Happy Easter.
Easter dinner with the WHOLE family. Egg hunt…good times!!
This is my 1st Aloha Friday! Woohoo!
On Easter, we always head over to my mom’s for Easter lunch. Then we let the kiddos have an egg hunt. After all of that, we usually come home and take a nice, long nap.
First off I hope you start feeling better soon! It sucks to feel crappy all the time!
And we don’t really have an Easter tradition. This year we are going to my families house to hang out, have an Easter egg hunt with cousins and to watch them. They are all little so it is fun for them! Next year when Marlee is older I am not sure what we will do.
Have a fabulous Easter!
It’s one of the few holiday where the entire family is together.
We go to church, we have eat and we have an Easter egg hunt. It’s pretty low key. Someone always has a bible verse or story about the true meaning of Easter that they share with everyone. It’s my second favorite holiday.

We go to my mother in laws or she comes here and we just spend time as a family after church. WE hide eggs for the kids and just have a fun time
We go to dh’s parents house for breakfast and then my grandparents for lunch – good food, easter egg hunting, family. We would be adding church to this schedule but we had a timing conflict this year. :/
We always enjoy a Easter Sunday lunch at y parents house followed with egg hunting by the grandchildren.
We attend Church services all Holy Week. DD hunts for eggs early on Easter Morning and then we attend our Church Service.
Later we will go to MIL’s house for Easter Brunch and possibly another egg hunt…if not then she’ll have a treat for DD cuz she loves to spoil her.
We go to church in the morning. Then we have an Easter Egg Hunt in our backyard for the kids. If we hadn’t dyed eggs, we do it then. Plus we have ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and a yummy dessert for the evening’s meal.
