Say "I'm in" if you in! Tell us your favorite Easter memory!

I'll pick a random winner sometime Easter Sunday!

My favorite Easter memory was a egg hunt. We would goto grandma's every year for lunch and an egg hunt. Well one year we got let loose on our hunt and no one could find the eggs! Come to find out one of granddad's bird dogs got out of his kennel and ate them! We could him just as he was finishing the last egg! I bet he regretted that decision after they passed though him lol.

I'm in! I loved Easter as a child, but my favorite Easter memories are of watching my children in their Sunday best participating in Easter egg hunts. Good wishes of blessings and peace on this Good Friday, and happy Easter to all. He is risen!
 
I'm in! And thank you for the chance.

I just remember so many egg hunts after church on the church grounds when I was growing up. Things were just so much simpler then.
 
Being Jewish, I don't celebrate Easter, per se. But I do have a memory of being very young, and being given a white chocolate bunny. It was solid, not like the hollow ones they sell nowadays and it was either huge or I was very small. I remember standing in the backyard gnawing on it for a long time. At some point I wanted to come back into the house, and I remember my mother latching the screen door, and telling me I couldn't come in with it. Not for religious reasons, but because I needed to be hosed off first. I must have been covered in sticky sugar.

Happy Easter to you and yours!


Just re-read this, and I don't want to give the impression that my mom was being mean to me. She was just being reasonable. It's funny, I can see the scene from both sides now. As a grown-up appalled by the thought of that sticky mess getting all over the furniture, and as a child standing in the sun just enjoying the best tasting candy I'd ever had. Not a care in the world.

Not an entry but my favorite memory was almost every year my father would hide the Easter eggs and almost every year one two would not be found. Until a few weeks later.
 
Thanks - I´m in!

We catholics celebrate Easter rather well. We also use to search for easter eggs. I remember when I was a kid, searching the easter eggs that were in a nest anywhere on our property. I searched rather long almost every corner and couldn´t find it. Dad was almost laughing and mum was shaking her head. After lunch they told me that the eggs were hiding underneath my bed. LOL! Sometimes it is just too easy.
 
I Am in! Egg hunts with my mom and dad of course. And getting one of those big chocolate bunnies!
 
I am in.

My best Easter was 25 years ago when as an adopted child I found my birth mother and we celebrated Easter together.

In. Favorite memory was my Dad making a fool out of him self butchering Easter songs and making up his own words as he went along.:) Made me LMAO. Oh and the candy.


Edit:: Least favorite Easter memory was my Mom screaming at me for drinking 3 cups of egg dye while coloring eggs.;) Thanks for the chance.

Here in Bulgaria we never went on hunts for eggs. We only have these family lunches with delicious dishes, but for me that is good enough :) Thanks for the opportunity.
 
I'm in! When I was a child, I don't think I enjoyed the Easter egg hunts as much as some of the other kids did. What I enjoyed was the great food feasts we always used to have after the Sunday morning worship service, and then getting to play outside. Spring! Warmer weather! Baseball season approaching! Those were the memories as well as the "look forward tos" I remember...
 
What the heck, I'm in.
I'd say my favorite Easter was last year. It was my second Easter sober, and the first time I really got to "experience" it. The cook out, got to do a little fishing, the youngens having a blast, the family in general. It was just a really good time.
 
Mystery giveaway?!?!?!? I'm in!!!!!

Maybe not a memory per-say, but I love the tradition here in South Louisiana. Since there is a heavy Catholic representation in Louisiana, Lent is kind of a big deal. Since most give up "meat" and only eat fish and seafood..... crawfish is quite a popular dish. There are tons of it here. So much of it is eaten before easter, the price drops afterwards. Anyways, I love going out and getting my crawfish fix on!

 
Nice idea. I'll play.
My favorite Easter memory is of my paternal grandmother. My younger sister and I would go to her house and dye eggs, but not with store-bought colors... My Grandmom, Eha Leinjarv, was Estonian, and so she passed many european/slavic traditions down to us. Her egg dying method was this:

For a month or two leading up to Easter, Grandmom would save the outer skins of all her onions. She'd make sure to buy more yellow and red onions during those months, not just white ones.
We would wrap the raw, white eggs in the colorful onion skins -- brown, yellow, red -- and then wrap each one in a piece of cheesecloth, and secure it with a piece of twine or a rubber band.
Then, she'd gently put the egg bundles into a pot of boiling water, and cook them like ordinary hard-boiled eggs.
When they are done cooking, we took them out and let them cool a little bit, and then the magic happens.
As each egg is unwrapped, and the cloth and skins are peeled away, a wonderful kaleidoscope of color is revealed. Exciting, random collages of color, explosions of golds, yellows, shades of brown and tan, bright reds and pinks, purples, and magenta, are left behind, stained into the shells of the eggs.

I'll never forget the magic of those moments, and the love with which she taught us, and I will pass down the same tradition to my children, whenever it is that they come along.
 
I'm in and thank you for the chance.
I remember the smell of the egg dyes. Also the giant Cadbury butter-cream eggs colored like egg white and yolk inside.
 
I'm in...thanks.

I remember my girls finding their Easter baskets that the Easter Bunny had hid for them. But, my fondest memories are the stories my girls have told me about their children (my Grandchildren) finding the baskets that the Easter Bunny had hid for them.

I'm in and thank you very much.

I come from a very large close knit family. My favorite memories of Easter are most of the family (my aunts & uncles & all my cousins) getting together for Easter Sunrise Service. After the very early morning service everyone would then go to the home of Uncle Don & Aunt Peg (they lived on about 10 acres) for a wonderful country breakfast. After breakfast was the Easter egg hunt which consisted of Lord knows how many dozen eggs. The day continued on until after supper when everyone then headed home. This tradition continued on for many, many years. Now mom & dad as well as all my aunts & uncles have passed on. But talk about memories.
 
I'm in! Please and thank you!

I don't really remember much in the way of celebrating Easter as a child, but I do have fond memories with my own children! I recently watched a video we had taken 5 years ago when my oldest two were 1 and 4 years old. We had chocolate 'hidden' in very obvious places. Our 1 year old found one piece of chocolate and was very distracted trying to eat it. Meanwhile, our 4 year old was taking advantage of her distracted baby sister and was scooping up all the other chocolates! We all watched it and had a good laugh.

This year we have a new addition to the family (our almost 2 ½ year old adopted daughter) who will be celebrating her first Easter with her forever family! I'm looking forward to taking another video and making some new memories!

Thanks for the opportunity!
 
I'm in!
I would say my favorite was my daughters 2nd Easter.
However, this year will be my son's 2nd, and it has been
fun already. Nothing like the first year they can walk around
and pick up some eggs to put in their basket! Blessings

I am in! One of my favourite memories is having easter egg hunts with the cousins each and every year. We would always find more months later in the garden after the snow was gone and picking vegetables
