Happy Easter to you all! I hope today, you are all enjoy this Sunday with those you have around and doing the family traditions that you would normally do if we weren't all quarantined as much as possible.

Today is also known as the Resurrection of Jesus Sunday then just Easter Sunday with all the sweet treats. I hope you all say a little prayer to start the day, I will be ; for all of us to get through these hard times and be able to hug, kiss our love ones sooner than later.

I thought I would share what some of my usual Easter Sunday traditions are. There isn't a long list of them, I will just share my favorites. And a few we do as a family even tho we are all adults now. We start the morning with a light breakfast of yummy things including hard boiled eggs. Start the meal by playing a game, that I have played since I was a kid called the" The Egg game" to me.You pick up a hard boiled egg out of the basket and either cup it in your palm horizontally to be the person that will get hit on the receiving end of the other persons egg or grab it with your fingers to be the one who will hit the receiving egg. Whoevers egg is left Un-cracked is the winner of each game. I tend to come in last place but throughout the years I have won a few times here and there. If you play this Egg game with your family around the table,it tends to get a little competitive, I am warning you now but it's still in good fun.

A little while after breakfast we start to cook a few yummy side dishes to have later for dinner that take a bit longer to prepare. One is usually a yummy egg salad using fresh boiled eggs and other top secret ingredients that no one knows what they are still to this day.And warm cheese egg rolls made out egg roll wrappers and three different kind of cheeses, which is very favorite little snack item any time of the year. And a assortment of pastry cookies , made by my sweet grandmother. In-between making the yummy food that turn into the best leftovers for the week, we color the leftover hard boiled eggs. Every year there tend to tie dyed ones and of course the tradition tan colored eyes as well (which I recommend to used in the game , I mentioned before.) Just don't tell anyone that I told you so.

And a assortment of pastry cookies , handmade by my sweet grandmother and we all devour with a cup of tea . In-between making the yummy food that turn into the best leftovers for the rest of the week, we color the leftover hard boiled eggs from that morning and that also turns into another round of eggs. Every year there tend to be tie dyed ones and of course the tradition tan colored eyes as well (which I recommend to used in the egg game ,I mentioned before.) We take walks around the lakes and walk the trails of the fresh wildflowers that have just blossomed, which is favorite part of the day besides eating the yummy things. I tend to be the gigging one in the fields of flowers for no reason other than enjoying what was created long before I ever existed. If it's never been obvious before my camera is always attached to me on those walks in the middle of nowhere waiting for the unexpected moment to be captured. And yet I realised I am not a little kid anymore but seeing those blossoms make me feel that I am still each year and full of cheer on this particular day.

I hope you take this Sunday for yourself and your family. Enjoy that fresh cup of juice or hot cup of coffee, watch the blue-jays and cardinals flying around in the morning sky Enjoy church virtually, get all dressed and enjoy it outside if the weather you let's you. Facetime, call your love ones and see if they are doing well, tell them you can't wait to Hug them soon. Create a yummy brunch spread that looks absolutely amazing. Play the silly games and color eggs, hide the eggs around the house , make the best of this Sunday by being relaxed and blessed for where we are right now. We don't have to be in a rush for anything or buying the next big thing in the world.

To just BE in the moment for the time being, Enjoy every spare second of it.
