My MIL called us yesterday at 7:45am and invited us over for an egg hunt and brunch at 10am! :-)</p> <p>We also hosted a bbq last night around 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2134307 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 16:15:02 +0000 Charm54 2134307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night was 5:30 at my grandmothers.</p> <p>If it would have been at my parents it would have been really late, like 8:00. Dd would have gone to bed at 7 and just slept over though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2134299 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 16:09:17 +0000 bunnylove08 2134299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3:30 LOL we went to an easter egg hunt around noon and came home prepped and ate. we were starving since we didn't have lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2134294 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 16:01:44 +0000 travellingbee 2134294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2:00, which meant LO didn't nap but it was ok </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2134285 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 15:50:53 +0000 Amelieisme 2134285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I know. We actually do a weekly dinner at my IL's at around that time but holidays are even worse because of the added festivities (egg hunts, lots of dessert, etc). I just wish they would move it up a bit, say 5:00? Its the price we pay for having close family I guess (which I DO appreciate) :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2134281 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 15:37:51 +0000 blackbird 2134281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amelieisme: I find that a lot of our gatherings are on Sundays and with work on Monday, it sucks to not get home until 8:00! We often bail a little early, but the whole time-at-home part is often sacrified </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2134278 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 15:36:19 +0000 Amelieisme 2134278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like most people do a little earlier. I wish we did this! Itd be so much easier. I work on Monday too so its hard to be out and not able to "get ready" for the week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2134042 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:57:17 +0000 youboots 2134042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hosted 12 people total. Appetizers &amp; cocktails at 3:30. Sat down for dinner shortly after 4:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2134036 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:55:13 +0000 SweetiePie 2134036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was at 5pm, just me and DH while LO napped.<br /> Normally my family does between 3 &amp; 4pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133962 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:56:51 +0000 Chillybear 2133962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a brunch with my parents around noon and dinner with my inlaws @ 4pm we probably sat down to eat closer to 5:30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133957 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:53:39 +0000 coopsmama 2133957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2:30. In my family it's usually anywhere between 1-3 for the meal. I really dislike it now that we have kids since that is nap time in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133929 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:33:01 +0000 Mrsjets 2133929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually eat around 3 or 3:30 for all our family get togethers, it just works for us. And there are snacks like crackers/pickles/cheese/meat, fruit/veggies, cookies/dainties ect to tie us over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133890 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:14:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2133890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1:00! We always do a big meal in between 1 and 2 and then snack/eat leftovers around dinner time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133881 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:07:38 +0000 Finfan 2133881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided to do a big ham dinner Saturday night but we had a homemade brunch Sunday around 10:30 too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133840 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 10:36:16 +0000 jedeve 2133840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amelieisme: my ILs are the same with thanksgiving. Drives me crazy! We had brunch at 11 and dinner at 6:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133774 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:35:36 +0000 Adira 2133774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ate around 2:00, which is generally a nice time, but a little rough for our toddler who usually eats around 11:30 and goes down for a nap at 12:30! But he was a champ about it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133758 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:21:58 +0000 bushelandapeck 2133758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always do lunch for holidays. We hosted and sat down to eat around 12:30pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133751 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:18:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 2133751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 1:30. E woke up from a nap at 1:45, so he was able to join us for a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133737 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:04:44 +0000 blackbird 2133737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ate at 5:30. All holidays are more like a 1 or 2pm 'lunch' time in my family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133733 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:02:54 +0000 ValentineMommy 2133733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do breakfast/brunch for Easter. It was at 10:30am. I love it that way, especially since I have work the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133730 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:00:30 +0000 lawbee11 2133730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do lunch for holidays because LO's bedtime is 7 so it's easier to do lunch. We had lunch yesterday around 11:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133729 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 09:00:28 +0000 WinterBee 2133729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amelieisme: We had our Good Friday fish fry at about 8pm (not usually that late, we had some technical difficulties). We had an Easter dinner with my side Saturday at 6pm and Easter Sunday dinner with my DHs side last night at 6:30pm.</p> <p>That's normal for our families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133725 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 08:58:55 +0000 prettylizy 2133725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dinner is usually between 6-6:30. That is our usual dinner time at home anyhow so it works out fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-was-your-easter-meal#post-2133721 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 08:57:32 +0000 Amelieisme 2133721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious. We sat down to dinner at my IL's at 6:30. My family always did a lunch/middle of the day thing. Its pretty rough on us with our two LO's who are starting to melt down at that time! </p>
