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!

Thanks so much for sharing my Easter Egg Countdown and all of these other great ideas. I’m going to have to look at all of these posts now. They’re all so colorful and cute! 🙂
I love these ideas, and so many of them are super simple. That last one for creamed eggs on toast!!– I’ve never heard of that, and it looks delicious!
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!
Easter is such a wonderful holiday to spend with family, making crafts and eating sweet treats! Anything I can do to get my children off of their electronics, and spending time with the rest of the family is something I’m interested in. The Graham Cracker Peeps House looks like the cutest and tastiest craft, which I’m sure will get my son to step away from his supercomputer, and participate with us! Maybe we can give the creamed eggs on toast a try, as a snack while we’re working on our Peeps creation! It looks delicious!
