Easter traditions?

Hello again! It is interesting the cultural differences, we moved to the US from the UK six years ago and the whole Easter basket/Easter bunny thing is so much bigger here in comparison. Easter when I was small was more a church/family event in the UK, it was always the time we spend visiting distant cousins. As I mentioned in my previous post we are now into the egg hunts, can't give up my hot cross buns though!

I always make a lamb cake in an antique lamb pan I found at a flea market. It is covred in white 7 minute frosting with coconut and candies for eyes, etc. I color the coconut "grass" around it with green food coloring.
I have a bunny stamper that contains powder and you stamp it all over the carpet and it makes bunny tracks.

Besides dying eggs (the day before Easter) and an eggsearch on Easter morning, we also made an Easter sidetable with a vase with those curly branches with lots of small wooden and painted eggs, easterbunnies and chicken hanging down. I made some Easter and flower feltfigures to be put on the sidetable. And we also put lots of fresh Springflowers on the sidetable and some nuts and other treats. My son liked dressing up the table.

On the Saturday before Easter the Easter Bunny leaves "Magic lollipop seeds" in a baggie, in the mail box, with a note that says "Here are magic lollipop seeds, just sprinkle them on your lawn tonight and there will be a magical surprise in the morning." Then, wherever the kids sprinkle the "seeds" (cause they remember where they did it) you put lollipops sticking out of the ground. I use white rice for the "seeds" and if it is going to rain I cover each lollipop with a baggie and tie it with easter grass. My kids love it!

Decorating eggs makes great photos. Easter's a lot more fun for us than it used to be because for the last 3 years (counting this one) we've gone to a friend's farm for a multi-family Easter egg hunt and down-home-cooking feast. Egg hunts are always more fun when there's a competitive edge.
