Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

If you celebrate, then Happy Easter!!!!! Do you have any Easter traditions?

I used to put a carrot out for the Easter bunny... but other than that I don't really have any traditions.

I guess that's all! Have a good rest of your day,

Happy Easter Everyone! 

My family's tradition is to fill a flat, big gardening pot with soil and plant wheatgrass seeds in it. Then we put a small regular pot in the middle of the first one as a tomb and three crosses around the tomb. And finally, we place a stone in front of the small pot.

On Easter morning we roll away the small stone to represent that Jesus has risen!

Yes, Happy Easter to those who celebrate it! My family has a bit of a strange tradition: we dye eggs a few days before the holiday, but afterwards, we take the eggs outside and throw them at trees! It is very satisfying, but you have to wash your hands for awhile afterwards to get the egg smell off.

On the Saturday before Easter, my family always draws on hard-boiled eggs with crayons and then dye them with in boiling water filled with food coloring. Then the eggs(and some candies) are hidden outside our house and me and my brother search for them on Easter morning! Then we eat them. We also usually have brunch with my relatives but we can't do it this year.

My family does a mexican tradision called Cascarones! Cascarones are dyed eggshells (no yolk or gross stuff inside) that you fill with confetti and cover the tops with tisue paper. Then, you SMASH them on another person's head, for good luck! :D It's so fun. I still had confetti in my hair the next day, even though I took a shower, brushed my hair, and FROGGIN' braided it!

Also, I got three books from the easter bunny! The 5th Lumberjanes book, and Brave & Crush by Sventlana Chmaknova (?)!

Sorry this is really late but my family normally dies hard boiled eggs and we make a bunny cake. We did not do it this year because we left for vacation on Easter :(
