I have not seen much here yet, I love Easter decor but need to be sensible, I have quite a lot already.
Easter 2022
- Thread starter sweetpumkinpye
- Start date
We have some cool Easter items at work I will be decorating this weekend after taking down Saint Patrick’s day
About a month until Good Friday. I think I will pull out my Easter Decor over the weekend.
Yes, I pulled out the spring/Easter decor a week or two back. 2022 is moving moving moving ...
I decorated at work last Friday.
We rented the park building for Easter. It is $50 and like 22 or 24 are invited. I am thinking 4 to 6 of them won't come--probably.
I have purchased the paper goods or at least 95% of them. Might need a couple more tablecloths. Maybe some small dessert plates. Have to check on the top pantry shelf.

Pulled out the Easter gift bags today. Sat and addressed the Easter cards, will post those next week or early the week after. The post still seems slow.
I usually host and it keeps crossing my mind, "Should I send the family text out?"
I just know that I get SUPER stressed about it. But I did claim Easter as "my" holiday when I first bought my house.

I pulled out Spring decor last weekend. I didn't get out Easter just yet. I'll probably do that next weekend.
I also claimed Easter as my holiday, but my parents seem to think that they can just claim a holiday whenever they feel like hosting it. I'm going to just do Easter here with our family. H invited his gf here because he figured we'd have dinner here as usual. So...that's how it'll be for us I guess.
Now to review the menu plan....

Not sure about things here. DGS#3 is going to be coming some time in April. Yesterday, DD29 invited us all to their house the Saturday before Easter for lunch...but with baby coming...who knows??? DDIL is diabetic, so they're saying they'll induce at 37 weeks. Her due date is May 3rd.
I need to confer with the kids and see if they have plans for Easter. Will then decided if I host Easter or ANZAC Day. I will probably not host both so will make a decision soon. Mum will host which one I don't.
I found a couple of places that are having Easter brunch. Normally brunch would be very appealing to both of us but for what ever the reason we both want to stay home. I have ham in the freezer and will make ham loaf with some of our favorite sides, a nice bottle of wine and knee patches for dessert.
Easter plans are starting to come together!
Coordinated menu plans with DH's cousin as to what she is making and what I am bringing - my contributions this year will include Deviled Eggs, Shrimp Cocktail, Pickle Tray, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing and a Cheesecake
I've put up my Easter decorations here at home - including taking an old Easter wreath and sprucing it up with some new picks and sprays.
I've got a few things set aside for DS's Easter Basket and am working on Egg Filler. He's basically "figured out" the Easter Bunny is not real but when we talked about it the other day he gave me the distinct impression that he still wanted the fun of hunting for the eggs, lol
So I'll do it again this year, gladly. I'm sure the time is coming soon when he'll be too "cool" for it anymore. Sigh.
I'm struggling with non-candy egg filler ideas that aren't useless junk and also not super expensive. I ordered some magnet/fidget rings to start. Will keep looking.
I also went through the entire large tote of plastic Easter eggs and sorted them all out. Over the years I kept throwing a bag of that years eggs back in the tote and it was just all over the place. I even found one of my serving spoons I'd been missing!!! lol (It was clean! Just misplaced!)
I'd like to come up with a simple hostess gift idea to take down with me for DH's elderly aunt. We eat at her MIL "cottage" on his cousin's property. It's actually quite a bit larger than a cottage - but in any case I try to bring her flowers or a plant or something every year. So I still need to decide on that.
I'm looking forward to it!!!

Please share some of your recipes with us in the MHH Cookbook Part Deux thread.
Easter menu for us is simple. (Remember it is cold here)
Hot cross buns, juice and coffee for breakfast. Instead of hot cross buns we may have Baked French Toast that I think I have shared before.
Lunch is something light, fresh fruit or bread with cheese etc.
Dinner this year is
Turkey breast, with roasted potato, onion, sweet potato and carrots. Boiled peas and corn. Cranberry sauce and gravy.
For dessert
Self saucing chocolate pudding. This recipe is one that my Mum has been making for as long as I can remember. It is very rich and a small bit goes a long way.
Chocolate Sauce Pudding
1 cup self raising flour,
3/4 cup sugar,
2 tablespoon cocoa,
1/2 cup milk,
1 tsp vanilla,
2 tablespoon melted butter.
For the sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar,
1/4 cup cocoa
1 1/4 cup boiling water.
Sift dry ingredients for pudding in large bowl. Stir in milk, vanilla and butter.
Spoon into a well greased oven safe dish.
Combine sauce ingredients in a jug and mix well.
Gently pour hot liquid over the pudding mix.
Bake 180 (350)degrees for 35 minutes or until pudding is set.
We serve with fresh pouring cream and icecream. Can be served with fresh strawberries or raspberries.

Decorated for Easter yesterday. I do not have a lot of things so did not take too long. I decluttered last year and kept the things I really liked.
Packed the Easter bags.
When I was at the dollar shop yesterday got cards to put away for next year, they still had a nice range so that is done.
The only thing that is not sorted is what we are doing for Easter. Kids still really have not let me know, will finalise today or tomorrow.
It does not matter when we get together as long as we do.

We just finalized plans. We'll be visiting my in-laws on Saturday and my parents on Sunday. I don't have any decorations up yet! That's never happened this close to Easter. Dh and I have decided to do one family basket with some candy in it. Whoever stops by on Sunday can take some for the road.
OK plans sorted. Not traditional by any means but it is what it is. Good Friday, kids are invited to dinner, I will get a lot of pizza toppings and we will make our own pizzas. Will provide garlic bread and drinks and will just sit and chat and relax.
Sunday we will go to Mum's. Dinner will be roast pork and all the trimmings and will have the chocolate sauce pudding and icecream. Once again a relaxed day. Looking forward to a lovely weekend with family.
