What is your Easter tradition?

[sak4kat]

My 5 year old just announced to me that Easter is her favorite holiday.  When I asked her why it's no wonder...she said "we get to find the eggs and get presents and eat chocolate."  I said, "you get presents at Christmas how come that's not your favorite?"  She said, "because at Easter I get toys."  We decorate Easter egg's by dying them...stick plastic eggs in a basket.  The kids leave there baskets next to there beds. In the middle of the night the Easter bunny sneaks in and steals all the plastic eggs.  He hides them and leaves presents in the basket.  When the kids wake up they go through the basket and begin finding the eggs.  She doesn't know it yet but this year he's bringing her a fishing pole, kite and chocolate.  My 12 year old son is getting a pop gun and baseball mit.  My 13 year old is getting a gift card to the movie theater for her and a friend.  I guess the youngest just doesn't appreciate the socks she get's from her Grandparents at Christmas?

I like that!  As many traditions as I have with my 3 year old, I haven't found one for Easter that I love yet.  This one is pretty good.  Might have to try it this year.  He loves to find stuff!  Especially with his flashlight~!

We rise up early sunday morning to go to sunrise service at church. Have breakfast, then return at 10 AM to suport our kid's Easter presentation, which is aleways lots of fun as they render their easter speeches.

Lots of good food on the table all day. We say grace, bless the eggs and pass them around, have a shot of Vodka and dive in. Plenty of friends and family to play games, pool and just have a fun day.

We always have a reunion with my mom's side of the family the day before Easter.  We have a potluck lunch and then a big Easter egg hunt afterwards.

Its really important for me to go to the church and have fasting. In my country Philippines we really celebrating it so much because we are 80% Catholic.

We celebrate Holy Week with special worship services.
Today is Maundy Thursday and w e are having a Seder Meal before church.
Tomorrow is Good Friday so we have a worship service.
Sunday is Easter Sunday so we celebrate with 2 Services with a breakfast between the two.

I like the Easter Sunrise Service the best!

When my children were young, it was simply having the Easter Bunny bring baskets while they slept.  Now that their teenagers, it's usually cash inside a card.  Happy Easter!
