Who doesn't love the Easter Beagle?
Easter is such a great holiday for me. No, I’m not going to rant on Catholicism and religion. For me, Easter is about good food, good conversations and good times spent with the people that I’m close with in my life. It’s one of those laid back holidays where you’re not worried about a car packed full of gifts or having to stress over how many stops you might have to make that day. It’s probably the most laid back holiday for me and probably due to the fact that spring comes with it. At that point, people are ready for the warm weather (in New England).
It’s also a fun time with the kids as there are lots of opportunities for photos via Easter Egg hunts and their expression of happiness when the realize that the Easter Bunny dumped a bunch of candy and stuff in their house just for them.Now, my wife tends to go overboard with these types of holidays (as the video below can attest to), but that’s ok. I like spoiling my kids. That’s my job as a parent.
Do the kids understand why we have Easter? Yes, but like I said, this isn’t one of those posts.
For me, Easter is one big ass photo shoot. The kids are all dressed up and looking cute as all heck. With the camera gear I have, I feel like I’m the paparazzi (Canon 30D and Canon Vixia HF10). I’m shooting from all types of angles and getting all types of footage.
Here’s a quick video from the morning of. I’ll be sure to post the Easter Egg Hunt mayhem event in a later post.
Long story short, while the kids have fun during these holidays, I think parents get more out of it because we get to live these memories over and over again.
