whimsyfox: Have a Tweet Easter!

Many people have Easter traditions. They might include going to church, having a ham or roast with family, taking pictures with the Easter bunny at the mall, egg hunting. Holidays are a little weird in our family. We used to live too far away. My side is usually not around - my sis and her two kids are in Chicago, my mom and grandma are (usually) in Puerto Rico. On EC's side, mama fox sometimes works holidays, its hard to coordinate schedules. One year we even went over to EC's parent's house to hunt eggs in their back yard and they were away for the weekend. So we don't usually have many specific "traditions" that carry out year to year. We just play it by ear.

This year's plan is to go celebrate in two weeks, up to EC's grandma's house - and most of his immediate family will be there, just one sister and her hubby can't make it. The fab fox four will probably do egg dyeing and hunting this Sunday. We got the ham during the week, so I'll have to get back to you on the culinary plans. The Easter Bunny will probably be taking credit for bringing an assortment of stickers, small toys, apparel and maybe even a candy or two for the foxlets, using the baskets that they've gotten the last couple of years because they are still in awesome condition. As for visiting said lagomorph* for pictures, not in this family. Have you seen Donnie Darko's Frank? *shudders* I can't even bring myself to put the picture up on here.

* Lagomorph: any member of the mammalian order made up of the relatively well-known rabbits and hares (family Leporidae) and also the less frequently encountered pikas (family Ochotonidae)

What I will do is share some of my favorite photos of Easter's past (and present) from our little corner of the world:
