Easter is only a few weeks away. We’re looking forward to a trip to see Grandma out of town and the aunts and uncle the kids don’t get to see often enough.
This also means that I should buy the gifts we’re bringing for the kids (and the chocolate I get the Man) before leaving so they can get packed. I could do it there but then it’s just a pain.
I know some people buy big gifts for Easter. We tend not to. It’s usually chocolate for us (this year I think we’ll do chocolate for the Boy) and books and a small game or toy.
This year, I’ve ordered a bunch of Scholastic and Chapters books. For the Girl, a hardcover book about a ducky and it’s love for mommy and one of the BEST books ever “Open the Barn Door”; a classic my son had but now has missing flaps and dried food on it, so she can have a fresh one (she’s only 6 weeks so an easy buy 🙂 and a couple I Spy books for the Boy. We’ve decided to also get him a baseball glove and do an Egg hunt at Grandma’s. This will go over well, especially since I think I’ll get the cool sports themed plastic eggs I saw at Michaels.
What does everyone else do for Easter gifts? Do you have certain traditions?
ps: this is titled ‘part 1’ because I am going to do ‘part 2’ another time, but dedicate it only to the wonderful world of Chocolate!
