Easter traditions?

What are your Easter traditions?

When I was a kid, we'd decorate eggs the day before. Easter morning, my sister and I would wake up and find that the "bunny" had hidden all of the hardboiled eggs and some candy around the house. We'd find our new Easter dresses (which we had picked out), hanging next to our empty Easter baskets and then we'd go on a mad hunt throughout the house for all the loot. It was in upstate New York so there was a good chance there was snow on the ground outside or at least really cold. Then we'd have breakfast (creamed eggs on toast, which I would refuse to eat) and go to church.

Now, even though we never got sick, I'm leery of leaving hardboiled eggs out all night around the house. And we don't do much candy. So I buy a few little gifts and hide them around the house and my daughter finds them. Then we head to church.

What do you do?

This year we're decorating eggs on Friday. Sunday morning before the kids get up, the eggs will be hidden outside. The kids will get to hunt for them and then they'll get their special Easter gifts. Usually, we do the egg hunt at the grandparents' house but they're going out of town this year.
