Easter Plans?

kaesha · March 2010

We're not going anywhere, not seeing any family... sigh. P. has an exam on Monday which is why he didn't want to make the 5 hour (one way) drive back to Ottawa. I get it, but I'm a little bummed. We've had Easters by ourselves before, but they were when we were in Japan. I don't really know what to do with myself/what to cook!

DH and I have never spent Easter together so this will be something different. My unit decided that since we are all so far away from home, why not have a bbq. So we are having a potluck/bbq with an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Hopefully it will be a good time - with hopefully good weather.

We extended family-less, too, this year, which kinda caught us off guard. My parents are travelling abroad (in 2 different places no less; my mom went home for a funeral and my dad is with his family for my grandfather's 95th birthday); MHs parents are snowbirds so they're somewhere south and warm; and my brother and his family have plans with their friends. We were a little miffed that my bro and family didn't have time for us, but I get it - their friends have kids the same age as thier kids, blah blah. It's just a bummer b/c we live here to be near family, and I guess we just didn't get our acts together to organize something for the family (granted my mom had to go). So I don't know what we're going to do. I told MH I'd cook whatever he wanted.

when I lived away from home there were lots of holidays that I couldn't fly home for - we often got together with friends (and since it was AZ we could usually just bbq poolside).

As a family we usually go to a buffet brunch together but this year I'm actually hosting dinner at my house. Planning the menu now. I won't actually be cooking everything - my mom, g'ma, and aunts will all be bringing something.

My FIL is flying in for the weekend to meet Jack so he will be here as well.

we've lived away from family for a long time now and usually spend Easter by ourselves..it's not so bad. this year we have the ILs coming to spend it with A though...they are going to be w/us for a week. we'll probably have a nice Easter dinner but otherwise we have no big plans. i am actually looking fwd to it b/c i know i'll be able to hand her off to the grandparents and know that she will get lots of good attention while i take care of odds and ends that have been neglected

i know that sounds kind of bad but i could use the break

Apparently we're going to Ben's parents' house. No real surprise there (his mother likes to spend EVERY holiday together, even the piddly little ones, so Christmas/Easter/etc. are a given).

I kind of wish we weren't going. Honestly I just want to stay at home. Maybe I'll feel different once the weekend hits. Blah.
