And as always, today we have another question for you:
What is one tradition you have around the Easter Holiday?
Well every year we do a themed version of the egg hunting, where instead of eggs we hide different objects depending on what theme we have that year. This year we're going with the "Bieber Fever" theme:) That's gonna be fun! Now feel free to share your Easter traditions here with us and also find out what other traditions our fellow bloggers have too:) Let's get this party started!

We usually have a small easter egg hunt! My son loved it last year... hopefully the baby can participate this year!
Hi!! I'm your newest follower and so happy:-) I just wanted to say a big thank you for this hosting!! It's always fun to meet new inspiring people!!!
As for the Easter tradition, I live in Greece, so our customs are much different than yours. Thursday before Easter Day we paint eggs and we bake butter cookies (mmm yummy!!). And on Easter day we have the traditional FEAST DAY!!!
That's it!!!
Ooohhh this was such a long comment!! Sorry for this!!

We do an Easter hunt with cardboard eggs and then a real gift at the last clue. Thanks for hosting boost my blog tina x x http://scratchycatcrafter.blogspot.com
Stopping by to play along and say thanks for hosting! As far as Easter traditions go - it's just the four of us now since we live over 2000 miles from our families. However, before we moved in the past 5 years, we would always go to my dad's where all of my cousins, aunts, uncles, etc., and their families would come for Easter and hang out and there was a good 50-75 people every year and we'd have a child's easter egg hunt and an adult easter egg hunt - it was a lot of fun and a tradition I miss terribly. *sigh* Have a great day! :)
Hi! We just have a simple one of hiding the Easter chocolate eggs around the house then exchanging them with each other!
Some years I take my nieces, nephews and god kids to a Easter egg hunt. We also have a traditional dinner at my grandmas house.
Have a great weekend!
Love the new layout! Your comments don't show for some reason though...maybe it's a work in progress. :)
SO SO happy to have found you! You just taught me something so simple that will help a lot. Thanks! I am following you from Thrifty and Frugal Living: http://www.thriftyandfrugalliving.com/
I hope you stop by. : )
I'm a new follower, thanks for hosting.
I am going to start a new tradition this year and dye eggs. We used to dye it with my family in Eastern Europe, but I haven't done it since I moved to Australia 10 years ago. Now my older child is 4 and I thought it would be a good time to teach him about my heritage and have some fun with it.
I love your Friday bloghop!
Hi
www.hinessightblog.com here. I follow you. I put your link on my blog today, and I'm hosting my very first give-away. Yea!!!

I'm planning on doing something similar. I was going to buy a 20 piece puzzle for my daughter and hide each piece in an egg to find. I'll probably number the eggs. I was going to do the same for my son with a small LEGO set. Thanks for hosting the hop again. You changed your blog design, didn't you? Love the new fonts.
Hi, new follower too, have enjoyed reading some new blogs! For Easter we head to the grampians in Victoria, where the kids run a mock, chase the kangaroos and have a great big Easter egg hunt!
Even though my kids are getting older (17, 14, 12, 10) we all still love to dye Easter eggs.
Even though the kids are getting older there always seems to be one young one so we still do our Easter Egg Hunt! Hundreds of eggs filled with candy and money! Super Fun!
I'm your newest follower. Would love for you to check out my blog @

hi! i'm an old follower but my first time to join your blog hop :)
for easter, we spend it with relatives. usually, we do the egg hunt and for every egg found, there's a corresponding money prize! we only do that when someone sponsors cash, otherwise, we just take turns hiding and looking for eggs hehe :) the fun part is designing them. i wonder what we will be doing this year. :D
With toddlers we still do lots of Easter Egg hunts. And the Easter Bunny always pays our house a visit while we are at church Easter morning. We easily get out the door that morning ("we have to go or the bunny won't come") and come home to baskets full of goodies.
Hello lovelies! Ive been participating every couple of weeks and I just wanted to say thank you for hosting! :)

Hi, new follower here and so happy to have come across your wonderful blog! My daughter started a new tradition this year where she drew a large egg and calls it the family egg. Each family member signs their name on it and decorates a small portion of it ( there are 5 of us all together.) So we plan on doing this every year now to see how different each egg is from year to year!

Our family will do Easter egg hunt for the kids and then also dinner and worship.
Aloha!
I'm your newest follower and party guest! :) Your blog is so cute! Found you vis January's June Party Tab. :)
As for Easter Tradition, we always go to church in the AM and then have a delicious meal with family (at someone else's house because I am NOT - yet - a great cook!)
This year my son is two and finally old enough to do some fun things with. We're going to have our first family Easter Egg hunt.
Sorry so long! :)

Hi, new follower here!!! My fiance and I started a tradition last year on Easter, and that is to dye Easter eggs!!! And Easter will always be special for us because it was on Easter in 2009 that we started dating!
We always have an Easter egg hunt! My sister is 22, I'm almost 19 and my cousin is nearly 18. We can't have an Easter without it! The past few years has been Deal or No Deal style... Trade your eggs in for a chance to get the $100 egg!! :)
We always dye eggs. My husband can't stand hard boiled eyes, but it does it for me. Now thats love!
As a kid, we used to go to my Mom's hometown to visit relatives...and the cemetary. We'd pack a lunch and eat at the cemetary or nearby. Weird. I know.
Love, Love, Love your new look. It is fabulous!
RE Easter - I love easter egg hunts. I know the holiday is about Jesus and how we have a living faith, but there is nothing to compare with the simple joy of little kiddos finding eggs.

Thank you for inviting me link in to your hop. I did just that.

Great to connect with you.
Thanks for hosting this party! I've been your follower for several weeks and enjoy visiting on Friday!
For Easter...my in-laws always do a money hunt for us. They hide a bunch of $1 bills around the house and we get to find them. Of course there is also a egg hunt for the kiddos but as a 20-something adult I enjoy getting to relive my easter hunt past...so fun!!!
Thanks for hosting. I am already a follower!
Hope you have a great weekend. :)

I follow y'all and was super sad yesterday when I tried to click on your site (I use it religiously in an effort to beautify my blog...seriously, y'all are SO smart) and when I saw it was opened to invited readers only, I was really sad in the pants. But it looks like y'all were doing some major renovations! The blog looks awesome... now to make mine look awesome!

As far as traditions go...other than church and cute outfits...i'm British, so realllllly delish British chocolate being shipped over here to the states is a tradition for us! I'm having a baby this Easter (the 22nd) so my mum is visiting, so we get a suitcase full of chocolate this year :) Woooop!!
Again, thank you for the hop!~xoxo
We have an easter tree! It is a white tree about a foot tall. No leaves or anything, just braches. I've done it as long as I can remember and it is very pretty to use as a centerpeice at your big dinner!
Oh my, what a large list! Thanks for hosting; I definitely get traffic from this :))))
Have a lovely weekend!
Thanks for hosting as always.
I am big on starting holiday traditions since my kids were born. Easter though is the one holiday we have been lagging. Every year we do something else. Last year we went to brunch with our friends and their kids. This year my mom is hosting...

Well, I suppose we tend to dye eggs and in years past (we are all grown now) we hunted them. We always went to Easter Vigil.
Have a great weekend.

Hi, Thanks for the link up. I'm following you now!
My kids are so young we haven't really started traditions, and we live far away from family, but most of our church does too, so we always have a potluck there on easter and thanksgiving and they do an egg hunt and stuff. its fun.
Mmmm. So many blogs to look through. I love it! Thank you! :p
