Want to know the easy, honest answer about what to do with your teens for Easter?
It’s the same answer I would give for most other holidays:
Keep up with the traditions (at least, those you all love).
Yes, eggs will once again be hidden all over my house. Giant sized young adults will be pj-clad and hunting for them and I love it.
We will have an Easter meal, with lots of desserts and treats.
I may even add a few gifts if possible.
The kids asked me this year if the ‘Easter Bunny’ would be coming.
I think they ask in part because they worry I might stop the traditions as they grow. And yet, they should know me better.
We are a family that loves building tradition (sometimes it’s an issue because we also find it hard to let go of some, even if they no longer serve us!)
And so, no matter how old they are, if they want to participate I am more than happy to set something up for them.
It’s as much for us, as parents, as it is for them sometimes.
We help our children grow and fly off into the world. But I love being able to still be the nest they come back to for comfort and childhood joy.
And eggs. Made of chocolate.
