Exactly, let's talk Mardi Gras. We always get a dry King cake, with a baby.

What is a "dry" king cake?

NP

The kind of king cake you’re going to find around here-dry and bland

Get the one from Bayou Bakery in Arlington- best I’ve had in this area and I grew up in the NO area.

Now I want this game lol. We do the egg hunt and the deviled eggs that are accidentally colored from the dye too. Also ham and some type of cheesy potato dish with a green vegetable. Green beans or asparagus. The Pictionary game sounds fun too.

Impressed you are already planning for Easter, OP!

We play Pictionary. There are clue lists you can download online I have a friend print them and cut them up so I don't see them and can play too.

I love these ideas! Especially the Mission Impossible music! And I'm gonna look for the inflatable bunny ear headband ring toss game now.

Thank you!

I've always had crazy easter egg hunts. In addition to all the regular eggs, we have a gold, silver and bronze egg and the rules are that you can't take more than one of them. But that's just because my kids are little and I know the older 2 would steal from the littlest (the littlest also gets a different colored eggs so that she has a chance). We play Mission Impossible music.

Growing up we had the same with all of our cousins. The gold egg would have $20.

I can't even think ahead to March yet.

Deviled eggs, slightly multicolored from dye seeping through the shells when we made Easter eggs.

Lamb roast or rack, asparagus (always a sign of spring here), mashed potatoes, and a bunny shaped cake for dessert (pooping out chocolate eggs to make my tween son laugh).

Chocolate bunny eating contests

I think we'll have a ham, salad, peas, fruit, and pineapple baked something.

We'll have an Easter egg hunt, but I'd like to liven it up for the teenagers (plus one elementary school aged child).

I'd love to hear your ideas.
