It is Easter this weekend, it seems to have came around so quickly even thought it is later this year. I thought it was the perfect time for some fun Easter related this or that questions.
Planning Easter a month ahead or last minute?
I am somewhere in the middle. We don't do much for Easter now that the girls are older. There are no Easter egg hunts, decorating Easter bonnets, decorating eggs or Easter crafts. I bought the chocolate Easter eggs earlier this week so that is my work for Easter done.
This year our Easter weekend is weekend is going to revolve around the wrestling, it's the WWE's big event, Wrestlemania. Becky and I have planned everything. We're going to watch Friday night's Smackdown during the day on Saturday, then watch Saturday's night of Wrestlemania on Sunday and then stay up and watch the 2nd night of Wrestlemania live. It will be a late one. Eek!
Easter basket or Easter egg hunt?
As an adult I would chose and Easter basket filled with lots of chocolate treats and goodies. When I was a child Easter baskets were not a big thing or at least my parents never did them for my brother and I so I feel like I have missed out.
Easter egg hunt with clues or just random hiding?
I think the random hiding is more fun! Doing it with clues can get tricky if little one's can't guess the answer to the clue.
Hide the eggs or find the eggs?
I used to love hiding the eggs for my girls! I always used to lose count of how many I had hidden though so we would always find a few days/weeks later. Oops.
Ham or lamb for Easter dinner?
Definitely lamb! I love it of course with lots of mint sauce! I don't think I have ever had ham or even thought about having ham for Easter dinner.
Hot cross buns or carrot cake?
Ohh! This is a tough choice, I love both. I think for over Easter I would have to go with Hot cross buns as carrot cake is more readily available for the rest of the year.
Easter cupcakes or Easter cookies?
Easter cookies especially if they are shortbread. Yum! Those type are my favourite.
Cadbury Creme Eggs or other brand egg?
Cadbury Creme Eggs!! There is nothing better when it comes to little, snacky type eggs although Cadbury's Mini Eggs come a close 2nd. A good few years ago I am sure they changed the recipe for Creme Eggs and I went right off them but over the last couple of years they have tasted good again!
Bunny shaped chocolate or egg shaped chocolate?
I always feel bad eating bunny shaped chocolate. hehehe so I will go with egg shaped chocolate. Isn't it strange how chocolate always tastes better in egg form.
Pastels or bright colours?
For Easter pastel colours, bright colours are more for the summer time.
Tulips or daffodils for Easter flowers?
Daffodils! They are such a cheery flower. I always buy some with our grocery shop every week at this time of year. They only cost a couple of pounds for a bunch.
The Easter Bunny or Easter Chick?
Ohh! Easter chicks, they are ever so cute!
What would you chose for these questions?
Easter candy is the best- I love the egg shaped candy and the varieties that aren't available year round. My oldest daughter used to love WWE and wanted to be a wrestler badly. Like, as a high schooler, that was her dream. She looked into all of the requirements/ tryouts and told everyone who asked her what she wanted to be, in the WWE was her answer. Her priorities shifted during the pandemic but I can't think of the WWE without thinking of how much she loved it and wanted to be a part of it!
ReplyDeleteI always looked forward to hiding easter eggs for our daughter! She's an adult now but we still give her an easter basket. I love tulips and egg shaped chocolate!

Easter baskets aren’t a thing here at all—I’d never even heard of them until I started reading about them on blogs! We’re getting together with my family on Good Friday, and my aunt’s making fish dishes. I’m bringing lamb, even though I think you’re not supposed to eat meat on Fridays. I’m a bit confused, but I’m sure we’ll have a fun time, even if we mess up the traditions, haha! For the first time ever, I’m making a carrot cake, and we also have two packets of hot cross buns because the supermarket accidentally gave me an extra one with my online order. Looks like we’ll be eating Easter treats all week!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely more last minute with Easter too now that the boys are older. We did hide eggs and have Easter baskets too; in fact a couple of years growing up our Easter baskets were even hidden and we had to hunt for those. Funny enough I have never had lamb.
ReplyDeleteMy kids would never have time to read clues it was just a mad hunt for the eggs, I do miss those days. I did a hunt with the youngest last year, but even he is too old this year. You'd have loved our haul of so many creme eggs this week from Cadbury's. If you do ever manage a trip to Cadbury World do tell me as I only live down the road. I love little chicks but I couldn't chose between chicks or bunnies.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the Creme Egg recipe changed, I don't like them as much as I used to.
ReplyDeleteI could never remember where I had hidden the little eggs and we would be finding them for weeks afterwards, maybe there's some sort of organised tip for hiding them but I don't know it lol.
Have a lovely Easter x
Aw, look how little Becky and Ellie are, hehe. I still do little egg hunts because Joben loves them, but Jayden likes to join in and help his bro find them.
ReplyDeleteI do love a Creme egg, but I also love the caramel ones as well. Happy Easter matey. xx
My whole family loves those Cadbury Creme Eggs, but they have always grossed me out. Haha. I don't love the cream inside.
