When a birthday cake is brought out, they tell the birthdayed person to take a little bite of the cake. The person doesn't want to knowing full well they will push her face into the cake and take her picture.
This our newest discovery is the smashing egg frenzy. I thought it may be just for Easter, but apparently they also do this for Christmas and New Years. Eggs are cleaned out from their shell and the shell painted, then filled with confetti (or flour in Mexico). A paper lid is glued to the top where the egg was broken. The eggs are given to the kids so that they can smash them on each other's heads allowing confetti to go all in their hair. The kids were very sweet in that they smashed the egg first in their hand, then just sprinkled Dominique. Ivan however got the full smash on the head effect and didn't freak out. Then he tried throwing his plastic egg at someone. Another party and he'll have it down for sure!For a calmer Easter, we celebrated together as a family and had our own back yard egg hunt.
Did you have any Easter traditions as a kid? What do you like to do now that you are older?

We hid our eggs (usually plastic ones filled with chocolate of some kind) in the house. Too cold outside. We are actually predicted to get more snow tonight. Although only 2-4.
When my own kids were little we went mostly with toys for gifts instead of filling them up with sugar.
Now-a-days I just enjoy relaxing as much as possible with, maybe, a little ham for dinner.
Well don't feel too bad about the weather. I was talking with Dad and this cloud cover goes from Victoria BC all the way across to Florida. So we are all getting the cold and lousy in April. Ivan is talking great. It's so amazing how much they grow in a few months.
