Easter Traditions

In our household, we’ve begun a few family traditions. One is that we attend a very early Mass on Easter Sunday in order to enjoy egg hunts and Easter lunch later on. I leave the house with the kids to get them strapped in their car seats while my husband stays behind and sets out their Easter baskets, pretending he’s locking up the house. When they come back from Mass, they find their baskets waiting at the kitchen table. And oh, the happiness and joy. After that, they have to look around the house for plastic stuffed Easter eggs, hiding under cushions, near the piano, and in house plants. My six-year-old is getting more savvy and the hiding places are getting trickier.

I think we’ll dye our eggs on Easter Sunday, as well. I’m considering letting them dye regular, uncooked eggs, because they don’t like hard-boiled eggs. Wonder if that would work? Anyone ever tried it?

What Easter traditions do you have? My favorite is consuming as many Cadbury’s Creme Eggs as humanly possible. Someone has to do it…
