Easter

That’s right folks, spring is here which means Easter is just around the corner. I love Easter. It is one of my favorite holidays.  I love hiding eggs and candy for my kids to find and watching them run all over the place searching for it. I love watching their eyes light up as they find their hidden treasures.

Last spring I dove head first in to chicken farming. I found a clutch of young laying hens on Craigslist and built a coop. I was off and running. I had seven beautiful and classy hens who gave me and my family delicious organic eggs every day. Life was good.

So you've got the whole family together for Easter weekend and you're looking to take them out for brunch on Sunday. Whatever will you do? Well, coming here was a good start. Here are five local Easter brunches you could choose from:

Are you looking for something to do with the family this Easter weekend? Missoula has you covered. There are so many fun events and activities taking place that your hardest decision will be choosing which one to go to first!

We all love Rudolph and Frosty...but maybe lesser known is the Rankin/Bass production of The Easter Bunny Comes To Town...What a great childhood memory!

Two of the world's best mascots, the Easter Bunny and Monte, will be looking on Saturday afternoon for the 13th annual Easter Eggs-travaganza on the UM oval.

It's kind of like throwing out the ceremonial first pitch in baseball. I'm throwing out the first Easter egg hunt announcement.

Easter is just around the corner, and who doesn’t love Easter candy? I love Easter candy. I think it is better than candy at any other holiday. My favorite Easter candy is Cadbury Mini Eggs. They have a crunchy thin outer shell and rich creamy chocolate inside...

At the 2012 Easter Treat Hunt in Missoula on Saturday, April 7, many children had their photographs taken by J. Willis Photography and Jamie Lynn Photography with the Easter bunny. Check them out below.

Thank you to everyone who attended our 2012 Easter Treat Hunt! We can't wait for next year! Check out the photos and videos from Saturday!

As far as holidays go, Easter might not be as popular as Christmas or Halloween, but it still has traditions and treats that can raise anyone’s spirit, mood or blood sugar level. The most interesting part of this annual celebration of Spring and rebirth is the supposed difference in the ways they are celebrated.

The Easter Bunny is once again hippity-hopping his way toward our brightly-colored baskets. And while we may never be able to find the logic in a rabbit that lays eggs, (?!?!) we CAN say with certainty that the adorable cotton tails in these videos are sweeter than a Cadbury Creme Egg…and far less likely to melt in your purse.
