We live far away from our families so normally we do nothing but this year we are doing a basket for the baby even though she doesn't care I got something for John too.... but no cards, like you said HCM.... a waste.
With my family back home we do easter baskets and go out for brunch. Andy and I give each other easter baskets. I think I am going to institute the brunch tradition with us. We aimed to go to church last year, but it just didn't happen, so this year I think just admitting up front we're not going and making brunch reservations will be the plan.
I get candies for cheap at walmart, my parents will prepare a huge dinner after going to church and will demand me to join.
We use to have an egg hunt, up until last year. The plastic eggs were filled with money. I would totally shove the kids aside. Actually, I would blow past them, knock them on their ass' and steal their plastic eggs. Now, Easter is pretty much just about consuming as many Mini Eggs as possible. Oh yeah, and I have to work. Time and a half baybeeee.
