My mama is the oldest of 6 sisters, so every holiday there is always something going on and we have made some very fun traditions!
Around Easter time there is one tradition I just LOVE!! Dinner and coloring Easter Eggs. The night we dye eggs we also have a strange meal. I've always thought it to be weird, but this year with a couple new friends joining in on the fun I was reminded how weird it is: Mashed Potatoes and Chicken Noodle Soup. Yeah the combo is weird and even weirder is that my family puts the soup over the potatoes. I have never liked the soup but everyone else LOVES it! Christian even requests this meal other days of the meal. I guess my mom's grandma used to do it for them so it just continued as a tradition when my mom and her sisters had kids.
On top of our weird meal we color eggs. And when I say eggs, we usually have at least 16 DOZEN to do-- what can I say? Our family is huge!! We have to take shifts.
Typically we use Paws brand dye but this year my mama also used just a homemade dye this year, and everyone perfered those colors over the name brand dyes.
Check out my blog here to find out how we did it.
