10. The Miracle Maker – great movie!
9. Cadbury eggs – yum!
8. Palm Sunday Baptisms – our church has a traditions of doing baptisms on Palm Sunday. It is one of the most powerful services we have every year.
7. Easter Baskets – my mom always used to hide our Easter baskets in the house and we would get up and search for them before church.
6. Easter Breakfast – another tradition our church has is a free community breakfast before our combinded Easter service at our local high school (we usually have 3 services every Sunday). It is a great time for our entire church to come together once a year.
5. New Easter Outfit – I always get a new outfit for Easter Sunday… do you?
4. Easter Bunny cake – my mom has a great (easy) recipe/instructions for making an Easter Bunny cake… it looks something like this:
3. Decorating eggs – its been a few years since I have done this but I know it will be something that I do again once I have kids that are older.
2. Family Dinner – always a big part of our Easter Sunday…
1. Experiencing Jesus Passion – this is an event that I am involved in on Thursday at our church that is an experiential journey through Christ’s last hours including worship, drama, and the creative arts. It is incredibly powerful and for me it is a great way to get focused on the true meaning of Easter.

Those bring back alot of childhood memories!! Number 7 cracked me up … she’d hide the whole basket?? How funny!! And yes, I remember getting new Easter outfit. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that … maybe I should get a new one this year!
Great list! My parents use to hide our baskets, as well!
Great list of Easter musts! I love the idea of the community Easter breakfast at your church. So cool.
You had me at Cadbury eggs.
It sounds like you have a big week planned leading up to a big Easter Sunday. Have fun!
