Easter 2026

[sweetpumkinpye]

Easter Sunday this year is Sunday April 5th, a little earlier than 2025.

I have been lucky enough to have found a few items for in the Easter baskets that I do for my family. We don't necessarily like Easter egg chocolate so we look for other treats. It will be getting colder here so I have bought all the ladies slippers and bed socks. I have knitted the boys beanie hats. To that I will add some other treats as I find them, maybe some hot chocolate mix or coffee flavourings.

I'm not sure what we are going to do for Easter. Dd doesn't have any days off for Easter break. Depending on her class schedule, we will have to pick her up either some time Friday or on Saturday morning. We will have to do a big Easter lunch so we can drive her back for classes on Monday. Colleges around us have always given the students off for Good Friday and/or Easter Monday.

We use to do a family basket with a few peanut butter eggs, jelly beans and marshmallow chicks. No one here cares for candy anymore so we stopped doing baskets. I do make roll out cookies in the shape of a cross, eggs, and chicks. I'm not sure if I will do that this year. We had so many cookies left from Christmas. No one is eating sweets around here like they use to eat them.

We will not be hosting extended family for Easter. Depending on the weather that day I may Double smoke a ham or toss some steaks on the grill. If it's raining then I will cook a ham in the oven.

I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself...

Got a few more items stored away for Easter baskets. Mini cans of pineapple juice.
