For many years now, Easter has been a family thing with us and not a church thing. Years ago when the kids were small (we have 5 of them) Easter was always a real hassle at church. People showed up that we never saw all year. The place was packed out. Also, it seemed like they all had new clothes. We couldn't afford new clothes for our guys so we just didn't go on Easter. We would have one big Easter basket with lots and lots of candy. We would have an Easter egg hunt in our house because around here it is too wet and/or cold to do something like that outside. Also, if at all possible, we would go out and eat that day. On our budget, going out to eat was a very rare thing. So Easter over the years has been a family day. This Easter as many of our kids and grandkids that can will be here. We will have a big Easter basket filled with lots of good stuff and as it empties we will refill it. We will have a big meal together, some will be in the dining room, some in the kitchen and maybe some in the family room. When they leave they will take ham and other food and also Easter candy with them. The smaller ones will color pictures and read about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus so we're sure that everyone knows what the day is about.
