Easter Weekend in Columbus, Ohio 2013 – Celebrate with Family and Food

Easter Columbus
Happy Easter from the SRE Group!


Many of our residents throughout central Ohio will be celebrating Easter this weekend and in light of the holiday, we wanted to share some of our favorite Easter activities and recipes. Here are just a few of our favorites.

It’s very traditional to have an Easter egg hunts in many families, so how can you spice this up? If you’re using plastic eggs, hide prizes like candy, stickers and small toys within them. However, we prefer using real eggs because painting them becomes a fun, family experience in itself. Another way to get the family involved in making Easter decorations. Sure, you can just go to the store and buy decorations but making your own is a great opportunity to get creative and more fun for the kids.

In terms of recipes, here is our favorite:
