My husband knows how much I love Easter - it's my favorite holiday (though shrove "pancake" tuesday comes in a close second).

This morning I woke up early. Waiting for me in the cabinet when I went to brush my teeth was a chocolate-filled easter egg! Then as I put away our last load of dishes, there were two more! Yay!

This afternoon we're going to have some neighborhood kids over to play with our Cinnabunny: aka. the easter bunny.

Do you celebrate Easter, or perhaps another spring holiday?
What are your traditions for the holiday?
Do you eat any special meals on this day?
Are there traditions that you had as a child that you are not planning to continue with your own family?________________________________________________________________

I celebrate easter.
What are your traditions for the holiday?
Since this is our first Easter together, we're not sure what traditions we want to make. We went to Mass on Good Friday and this morning's easter egg hunt was a success. We'll be singing with the folk group at Mass today.
Do you eat any special meals on this day?
We're a bit at a loss of what to prepare for a special Easter feast, so we're just going to cook a bunch of our favorite foods.

On easter morning my family would wake up before dawn and go for a hike, then stop on the trail as the sun rises and sing hymns together. This is a tradition that is sweet and pretty and all, but it's not one that I plan to embrace for my own family. I love hiking, but I'm not about to force my husband out of bed at dawn. Another tradition in my family is to have a feast where ham is the centerpiece. Since I'm a vegetarian, I'm not planning on incorporating this one.

I'm looking forward to hearing what everyone else has to say about traditions - maybe there will be one that I will adopt as our own!
