As promised, this week we are going to talk about Easter and some Traditions to incorporate with your families.

Some of you may do easter egg hunts, baskets, and bunnies, and some may not, and choose to just focus on the Savior, his life, and his resurrection. And some may do both. We try hard to find a balance between both. So I am going to give you a couple of ideas for both!  There really isn’t a right or a wrong, it is whatever you feel is best for your family.

All traditions take a little bit of planning, work, and time. 

Decide which ones you want to do.

Why do you want to do them?

Is it just a tradition you just do?

Why?

My why is because it brings us together.

It is fun to spend time together

Talk with your families if there is too much and see what they say about your traditions.

I know there are some nonnegotiables for me, but there may be some others that the kids could take or leave that you're spending A LOT of time and energy doing!

Sometimes, doing traditions can be a bit overwhelming, and a bit much. 

Sometimes we can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to have everything look perfect, but we forget the reason we have them. Maybe even just a little bit of simplifying or asking for some help will make all of the difference and your traditions more enjoyable for you. 

Is there a tradition you’d like to start?

So many talented people share ideas online!  I always seem to find one that I love, and then make it my own. 

The reason for traditions is to gather and build relationships with family.

They are to spend time together. To have experiences together that bind and create bonds that last, and at Easter to remember Christ.
