Our Easter Traditions

This year, it felt like Easter came so early!  The following traditions are ones we have been holding onto.

1.  We usually go to church on Easter.  My son loves the music and  Easter egg hunt after the service.  Last Sunday the children dyed the eggs and this week they were hid in the church.  He loved it!

2.  The Easter bunny comes and visits the house either the night before Easter or the night of Easter.  Though my son doesn't allow the Tooth Fairy to come in the house, he doesn't mind the Easter bunny visiting.

3.  We have an Easter egg hunt with friends, and in those eggs we put coins!  Even adults love this Easter egg hunt!

4.  We dye eggs!

5.  We visit the Easter bunny at the mall.

6.  We have an early dinner with family.

7.  Easter table/display:




8.  Easter spring tea and snacks
We love Blake Gardens and Crab Cove for picnics!  One easy snack is Annie's Bunny fruit snacks, with the summer strawberry flavor.

9.  We love the Cadbury Creme Eggs, with milk chocolate eggs and soft fondant center, by Hershey company.  My husband grew up with these!

10.  This year we worked with chalkboard eggs that I got at Michael's craft store.  I got colored chalk and the children ages preschool to age 8 decorated them.  The fun part about these chalkboard eggs is that they can be reused over and over again, and aren't messy!

Some new ideas for traditions we may want to start....

Go on the Easter Egg Express in Woodland, CA.  There was an Easter egg express on April 5th, at 2PM.  (http://www.sacramentorivertrain.com)
