My children are at an 'event' right now where our church is dropping thousands of plastic eggs out of a helicopter. I think there will be many many MANY children there ~ a couple thousand. My girls dressed in Easter colors and dresses on their own volition. I did not go. That many people in one place does not appeal to me at all. We are going to a little dinner at my parents on Monday also. We do not go overboard on traditions here but there are little things my mom does to make Easter special. She brings baskets over on Easter Sunday each year with little treats and cute stuffed animals. The children love this. Last year we made Pasca with my dad and that was really fun. Some years Easter hats have been made and this year my daughter made a wreath. The children always dye eggs.
Easter ultimately for our family though is remembering that a man named Yeshua, a Jew and the Son of God, died on a cross to pay this ultimate price for the sins of man. It is glorious, hopefilling, and amazing all at once. We are thankful.
