I love our Easter traditions. Because we have church on Sunday evening, we get to have a leisurely Easter morning. It's not the hectic open-your-Easter-baskets-so-we can-get-to-church kind of morning. The night before Dan & I had been out until 1:30am at our church's Easter Vigil (which was AMAZING!!!) so we were able to gently roll into the morning celebrations. We read the Resurrection account from the Bible together as a family and then we send the kids on their Easter Basket Treasure hunt.
Basically, they run around the house following clues (in plastic eggs) to find their baskets. They always look forward to the hunt (2013, 2012, 2010, 2009). My parents were still visiting and so were able to enjoy a wonderful lunch together too.
Let the Wild Rumpus Begin!

We also have chosen to decorate for Easter after Easter instead of before it. My favorite Easter decorations are our hand-painted eggs from Vienna.
