In today’s post: 17 Easter family traditions to start this year.
As my kids get older I’m realizing more and more just how important the time we spend together is. My oldest will be headed to college soon, and I want him (and the rest of the kids) to have as many good memories of our family as possible once they move away! So today I’ve gathered up 17 fun Easter traditions you can start with your family. Some of the traditions will help your family focus on the true meaning of Easter, while others are just for fun. And the last one will even help you use up all those hard boiled eggs!
NOTE: If you’d like to pin an individual photo, please click through to the original post to do so. Feel free to pin the collage above to remember where to find all these ideas in one place.

I love the bunny foot tracks! We once spread some cotton around the house to make it look like the bunny lost some fir. Worked great for a 4 year old!

I also grew up with Creamed Eggs on Toast. I love it! My 17 yrs old has also grew up with it as well as my 4 yr old. My husband did not grow up on it and hates it. Some of my extended family grew up with Creamed Eggs on Biscuits..either way it’s delicious!
