Works for Me Wednesday – Backwards Edition – Older Kids and Easter

As the kids have gotten older, of course they have learned about the true meaning of Easter and have participated in the religious observances. This year Sam will be singing with the parish choir for the Easter Vigil and Gabe will be serving. I’m hoping Calvin will attend and bring his girlfriend. The ten and underders will go with Mr. Pete and I to Easter Sunday mass (where we have to sing again with the choir at 11:00).

But we’ve also tried to include other celebrations like Easter Egg Hunts, and and hiding their Easter Baskets. As the boys have gotten older, making the baskets and hiding them has become more and more of a challenge. We don’t make this into a mini-Christmas with the super expensive baskets, but we do include some pretty good Candy and Mr. Pete had been very inventive in hiding the baskets from the teenagers.

But this year Calvin is 18 almost 19 and Sam is 15. Do we keep doing the Easter Basket thing? Or is it time for them to help us with the baskets for the younger kids? How do you handle Easter with your teen and young adult kids?
