Resurrection Eggs Review & Giveaway (10 Winners!)

I'd love these. My fave Easter memories involve going to church with my grandmother then having easter dinner with my family and digging into our Easter baskets lol

Kerri Marsh says:

hiding real eggs at my grandparents house and almost always not being able to find one until a few days later, hysterical and gross.

Mmrossie says:

One of my favorite memories of Easter is going to church with my parents. I do not think that we ever missed an Easter Sunday of church!

Ellisakpoe says:

getting a new dress and celebrating the great resurrection

Laura Durden says:

One of my family's favorite Easter traditions was to go through the Resurrection Eggs and go through the Easter story. Unfortunately, we had a fire last year and lost our set of eggs. Something that my children really miss.

Hlmobx says:

My favorite Easter memory would have to be where we had a wooden cross at church at the alter. Everyone was invited to write something they needed to give over to the Lord and actually nail the paper to the cross. Seeing our “Shepherd” Pastor kneeling in prayer in front of that cross, covered with the whole congregations offerings to the Lord, is an image I will never forget. God gave him such a burden for His People.

Heather says:

My favorite memory of Easter is the year we went down to my grandparents in the Florida keys. We had such a great time. Easter morning we woke up and my basket had been put in the oven. It was such a special time being with my grandparents and my family.

Aeparker80 says:

I remember the first Easter after my nephew was born on April 7. Such a sweet time!

Candi says:

favorite memory was last year seeing my 2 year old so excited over her easter basket

Blessedndeed says:

Easter time for us is all about family and LIFE !!! Life abundantly as well. We celebrate by gathering with family and sharing about God's goodness and how we can tell others about Him. We allow the kids to share what God means to them and what easter means to them. We love Easter time !

Highfillfamily4 says:

Being an only child growing up, my parents & grandparents were always subjected to hunting the Easter eggs that I hid for them….It was alot of fun for me to run all over the yard hiding them so they could find them!

Shannon says:

My favorite memory of Easter is going to church early on Easter Sunday morning and wearing a pretty new dress. Getting a basket full of goodies and going to Grandma's after church for lunch. My cousins and I would hide easter eggs together!

Marrimekko says:

One of my favorite Easter memories is of coming home on leave while stationed in Japan and meeting my newborn nephew for the first time and at the same time introducing my 8 month old son to most of my family (who hadn't met him yet, as he was born in Japan).

Danaemomof3 says:

Fancy Easter dresses, frilly Easter baskets and yummy family dinners and egg hunt at Grandma's. :*)

Brandy B says:

Just spending time with the family

Bamamomof4 says:

I love Easter! I love the whole spirit of rebirth of our Lord Jesus and the reminder of how his grace saves us everyday. I love the flowers and trees and new life it brings. One tradition I started was a “nite lite egg hunt” for our older kids in the neighborhood. The little ones still do the daytime ones but my older kids were sad to be excluded in the fun. So, we hide eggs and once it gets dark they head out with flashlights ready to go! We have snacks and fellowship with our neighbors.

Magnet007 says:

A new Easter dress and church services at our old country church.

Bee says:

Watching baby ducks follow their mother as I took a walk around a lake with our first child in a stroller.

Andrews07 says:

Dying eggs and baking Easter cookies with my grandchildren and daughters. They love it sooooo much!!!

Sam says:

Watching my son hunt eggs for the first time!

Kennedy228813 says:

Favorite memory, is waking up early and switching the things out of my sister's basket and putting them into mine and giving her the stuff I didn't want. Once Mom found out I always had to switch them back ;)

Dena Furgason says:

Actually my best Easter memory was when my daughter first saw the Resurrection eggs at Antioch Baptist church in Bridgeton, NC she was 2 and she loved the story so much. I can remember her face to this day. She is now 14.

Jastamiller says:

Wearing my Easter dress and always having the huge family lunch after church.

Candace says:

My favorite memory is my Grandpa (who is no longer with us) showing the kids where the eggs were hidden.

Amy says:

We went to my Grandma and Grandpa's house after church for a big family dinner and egg hunt for all of the cousins… my older cousins and I eventually became the “hiders” instead of the “hunters!”

Lisa Parnell says:

My favorite Easter memory is when my great-grandma would wake me up and surprise me with her special Easter basket.

Karen says:

It was so much fun shopping with my Momma – getting the “perfect” dress and then the “perfect” bonnet, little purse, gloves, lacy socks all to match!! Then going to church wearing that “perfect” outfit and hearing the Easter story. The afternoon was always filled with cooking out hotdogs and hamburgers at Shoal Creek with family friends and hunting eggs. Oh what SWEET MEMORIES!!

Karen says:

04/08/2011 at 6:09 pm

I forgot – had to get the “perfect” patten shoes. LOL!

Terri Pappas says:

My favorite Easter Memory is going to my Uncles house after church and getting together will all my cousins looking for eggs in the back yard. I always worked hard to find the biggest egg cause it had $5.00 in it as the grand prize, I got the golden egg twice and felt like a winner! Then enjoying an Easter Feast with my family!

Katie says:

I remember as a kid my parents would always hide our Easter baskets and we would have to search the house. One year my sister and I found ours but my brothers was nowhere to be found. He eventually found it hanging outside the front door. As kids we thought this was the funniest thing ever. I also remember getting all dressed up in my Easter dress and going to church. Somedays I sure do miss being a kid.

JessC says:

Favorite Easter memory – last year, when my husband came home from Afghanistan for R&R!

Colleengonzales says:

my favorite is seeing the whole family get together and letting the fathers hide the eggs then the mom's get the kids ready and let them go. That way everyone is involved.

Amanda says:

When I was younger my dad would go and purchase corsages for me, my mom and my sister to wear to chruch on Easter morning… it was so very sweet. He would always purchase one with an orchid for my mom. What's extra neat is there's a part in an Peter Cottontail book that read my son that mentions 'Peter' bringing an orchid for the Mommy… everytime I read it I'm reminded of the corsages that my dad gave my mom. Makes me smile!

DeDeBug88 says:

I would have to say hunting Easter Eggs outside (or inside on days it was rainy)

Kara says:

getting all dressed up for church and giving my mom a corsage to celebrate the special day

sarah says:

My favorite memories include going to Church & coloring eggs with my sisters & brother. I now have an eight month old son and I can't wait to color eggs with him and hide eggs so he can find them!! Having a kid is soooo much fun (most of the time ;)!

Karen Carrier says:

My favorite memory of Easter is visiting our cousins and putting on an Easter play. It was usually nothing to do with Easter, more to do with the circus and things like that! Still, it was the only time of the year we saw them routinely and I loved it! My boys are getting their first cousin this summer and I am excited for the fun they will have with him too!

mamac says:

As a child, waking up Easter morning reading the Easter story, seeing my basket of candy and usually an Easter dress. Then finding the hidden eggs.

Jmflosc says:

Last year I made a set of these eggs for my class at church. Would love to win a set. Thanks

Babyblue52528 says:

This is the first Ive heard orseen these… Wouldlove to have them for the kids.. one of my favorite memorys of easter is going to the park with my dads side of the family and always peeking to get more eggs and the prizes lol…

Christine says:

I loved dressing up and visiting family. My grandmother always had the loveliest Easter baskets prepared for my sister and I. Such precious memories.

Mscoggins says:

My favorite memory of Easter was my dad giving each of his girls and wife a beautiful fresh orchid to wear to church. Even after we married he would bring them to our homes before church. Really miss that tradition now that he his in heaven. Always enjoyed the Easter service and family fellowship that came after church. Also the silver dollars that my uncle would hide in the prize eggs.

Catherine Drago says:

The “easter bunny” always used to leave a doll for me in my bed on easter morning :)

THEEVANSFAMILY02 says:

My Favorite memory of Easter is when my Grandma would color eggs with us and everytime we colored one she would recolor it :)

Hitara says:

My favorite Easter memory is when my oldest daughter was 2 years old and I was pregnant with my 2nd child. I was having to chase her all over the Easter Egg Hunt, and being almost 9 months pregnant, it was quite amusing!

Shaye says:

My favorite memory of Easter was the only Easter my husband was at church with us…. he had a scripted part in our Easter Program and was so overcome by the Scripture reading that he couldn't get through it without great emotion and many tears.

Tiffany says:

My favorite Easter memory was Easter 2008 when I was pregnant with my first child. That particular Easter was so special to me knowing I was only 2 weeks away from becoming a mother.

Cristierose54 says:

My favorite Easter memory is every year! I have 5 children so just seeing all their easter baskets displayed and their faces lighting up when they see all the goodies in them just makes my heart smile!

SmTownBigHeart says:

My favorite Easter memories are when we have gone to Sunrise service on Easter sunday morning and the service is held outdoors. Hearing the birds chirping, I always imagine them as sending their praise to their Creator!

Lori says:

Dressing my little girl up in her Easter dress and celebrating That HE is risen!

Gail says:

My favorite Easter memory is coming home from church and eating dinner then we'd go outside to find the hidden eggs. Miss those fun times when life was so much simpler. :)

amy says:

This sounds so neat:) My favorite memory is spending time with our family.

Ugadawgs1975 says:

When my twins were 10 months old for their first easter and were all dressed up in their little matching easter outfits and sitting side by side for a “perfect” picture. My son clothes lines my daughter as the camera flashed hence the picture with her laying flat on her back crying and him smiling at the camera. Funny memory now that hey are 4.

Maria says:

Last year was the first year our son was able to participate in an egg hunt, and he had such a great time! And I loved seeing him so excited :)

Steffi_11 says:

My favorite Easter memory has to be Easter Sundays going to church with my family. We didn't have a lot of money but my brother, sister and I always looked like a million bucks especially for Easter. My dad was our church's music (and youth) minister and he always put on a fantastic cantata! He and my mom both sang like songbirds and they did a duet called “Calvary” almost every year when I was very young and I still remember the words to it, can still hear them singing it, and the words and meaning of the song are forever burned into my heart and spirit today as a 33 year old woman with children of my own. Although the Easter Bunny would come and that was always very exciting, I appreciate so much the true meaning of Easter Sunday and for my parents' love; it was through them I learned of my Savior's love.

Happy Easter!!!

Lease says:

Going to Sunrise services with my family and eating breakfast with them afterwards.

Waiting to Adopt says:

My favorite Easter memory is the first Easter with my adopted daughter…wait…that hasn't happened yet…

Lauren says:

My favorite easter was when my husband was home on leave from Iraq and we got to spend the day with all of his family and mine. It was so nice to be together and get to do a big egg hunt with all of our nieces and nephews.

Mikiesmomma says:

My favorite memory is from last year, my son was 3. We got together with my best friend and her daughter and the kid's colored easter egg's for the first time. They grew up together, as we met when the kids were 5 mos. old. They are 6 days apart. It was so much fun!!! The look on their little faces was priceless when the egg came out colored. I will never forget how much fun we had. I can't wait to do it again this year! mikiesmomma@gmail.com

Toneydtt says:

My favorite Easter memory is every year when the church is full for Easter Sunday!!!

Lizz says:

My favorite memory of easter has to be when I was about 8 yrs old. My mom gave me the prettiest easter dress to wear, and she hid easter baskets for my brother and I, and THEN we got to color cute little eggs. I love these eggs though, now that I'm married and planning a family of my own, I can't wait to give my kids these joys, and this lesson!

Kirsten Dugger says:

This is my first Easter with my 4 year old, but before children I loved having the church teenagers over who's parents did not celebrate Easter. We would always cook and then eat together.

Corey G says:

By far my favorite memory is going for Easter Egg hunts at my great-grandparents house. Such happy times.

Kristie says:

I always enjoyed going with my mom to pick out the perfect Easter dress to wear Easter Sunday morning. I felt so special in my new dress. I also enjoyed the Easter egg hunts. Now, I get to enjoy all of these traditions with my family. Great giveaway! I purchased these for my children several years ago, but they have since lost several of the pieces. I would love to have a new set to share with them and use for my Sunday school class. Thank you!

Babrunson says:

My favorite Easter memory is going to my grandmother's house after church for an egg hunt w/ my sister and cousins. After we found the eggs. we'd swing each other in the hammock (one person wraps up like a burrito, and the others swing her wildly until she calls for mercy… its actually pretty fun. At least it is when you're 10!).

Annandrichardestridge says:

We would go to the Saturday evening service. It was a long service & I remember, when I was smaller I would like for all the bible readings to be over. But then they would do the High Mass and the church would go dark, and then there was a small light, a candle. And the priest would sing “Christ the Light” and we would sing back “Thanks be to God” and then that small candle was passed to the people and they would light their candles as the chant continued with “Christ the Light” and soon the whole church that was totally dark before, is illuminated with candles peircing that darkness. Somehow enduring the long readings made it worth it to expierence the Light piercing the darkness. I will never forget that or how wonderful and safe that made me feel, even in the darkness the kight was there to guide me.

Kelley says:

My favorite Easter memories involve the beautiful dresses my mom made for me each year. As I got older she would let me pick the pattern and fabric. Lots of fun and they were always nicer than anything she could have bought.

LISA says:

My favorite memory is taking my kids on their first easter egg hunt. Watching them get so excited about finding the eggs were priceless :)

Dmthomas98 says:

My favorite Easter memory is when I was a child and we headed out the door to go to church and their on our sidewalk was a REAL bunny cute as could be. He hopped over from the woods beside our house…it was so fitting for him to show up on Easter. As a kid, this was the best thing!

Alley27603 says:

My favorite Easter is when my youngest who's eight know received a package from his granparents and in it was a yellow ducky. He was only 1 year old and he still sleeps with it today. It's never left is side. We never could go anywhere's or to bed without ducky.

Lisa says:

My favorite Easter memory is the Easter just before my mom died–I sat in the living room with her since she was bedridden and we opened the windows and the church down the street had loud speakers outside so we could hear her brother singing “Amazing Grace” at the Easter service–all the way down the street. I was 8 months pregnant at the time and Easter always reminds me of the circle of life and God's plan for us all!

Amy Hankinson says:

My favorite memory was when I was a child and Easter happened on the same day as my birthday March 31st! I was so excited.

**love to have a set of these eggs, the church has a set and I just love them***

Kediajpage says:

My favorite memory is when my dad would put a real baby chick in a plastic egg and have the grandchildren to open the egg.The look on their faces…priceless.

Constance says:

Last year was so far my favorite Easter. My husband and I celebrated Easter with our daughter for the first time. Also, it was his grandmother's 90th Birthday! It was a great day we shared with family

Nap1 says:

My oldest sons first Easter I was so excited to make him a BIG basket full of all kinds of candies and goodies and toys! Mind you he was only ten months old and could not have cared less. It was still fun to watch him toss it all on the floor!

Pauline says:

A favorite memory is inviting away-from-home college students to our home to share our family's Easter dinner, and making mini Easter treat bags for them.

Deborah says:

My favorite Easter Memory is looking for eggs outside at my grandmother's house with my cousins.

Jenniferlovescoupons says:

My favorite memory that I look forward to every year is simply being with my family to celebrate the God. I love the spring smells and the beautiful grass and the special feeling I feel in my heart.

Aja143 says:

Mine is Easter morning going on a trip early in the morning. Afraid, as a kid, that I wouldn't get the same surprises we normally do. As we all, very tiredly, stumbled to the car early that morning, we found our treats sitting in our seats. I remember the stuffed animal rabbit I got and still have it!!!

Staceyb says:

My favorite memory of Easter is when my dad and I were baptized together on Palm Sunday when I was 11 years old.

Kriss says:

04/08/2011 at 6:18 pm

That is sweet.

Candace says:

Each year, our church has an Easter Parade where the kids all walk thru the sanctuary dressed in their Easter outfits. Throughout all the time my husband and I were hoping to be parents I would watch my friends and their kids. This year I am excited because it will be the first Easter Parade for us and our twin boys. God is so good!!!

Keri Page says:

my favorite easter memories are of getting up early easter morning and going out to see the easter basket the easter bunny(aka my grandparents) had left for me.then we'd head to church for the service and then back home to a wondeful family dinner.i love that my children get to experience easter as i did!

Sherri says:

Its hard for me to decide which is my favorite, having all of my family and extended family at our house for a cook out and an egg hunt when I was growin up, or hosting those cookouts at my own home now with my children, parents neices and nephews. And realizing that Easter isnt about the eggs at all, its about the resurrection of my Lord and Savior!

Kmcfalls1972 says:

My favorite part of Easter is seeing all the new faces at church.

Theaikenparrs says:

My favorite memory of Easter is last year–when our family was finally complete (after YEARS of waiting) with the addition of our twin sons. They came home just a few short weeks before Easter and we celebrated a LOT that year.

Jennylynnek says:

My favorite Easter memories are the “Happy Resurrection Day” Parties that we had at our house. This was to encourage us to remember Jesus' rising from the grave instead of the bunnies at this time of the year. The special breakfast and treats that we had are great memories of my favorite Easters

Morgan says:

Being with family.

Stephanie B says:

My favorite memory of Easter is each year, after church,, at brunch, my mom would tell me, and everyone else, the story of my very 1st Easter…it was the day I was baptised. Sadly, without knowing, last Easter would be the last one I would hear her tell my special story. Now I will be sharing with my daughter each and every year. Ah, the memories. I miss my mom so much, but this memory just flooded back and I'm smiling away remembering. Thank you! :-)

Dlaysia says:

My Easter Memory was not that of a fun , an excitment of candy baskets or eggs, but one that began my journey to know and accept Christ. My Husband ( back then friend) and I got up and got dressed to go to church. I remember parking was crazy and we had to walk to the church only to sit in an overflow cafeteria room so needless to say we didnt stay… however.. the following Easter Sunday of the next year we went to another church and it was amazing and we ended up joining that church, getting saved, and now living for Christ. Our journey has its ups n downs but God has always been there. I would Love the Resurrection Eggs to be able to teach my 4 yr old the TRUE meaning of Easter and not the propaganda and worldly side that gets the most recognition…… THK YOU for the opportunity……… BECAUSE HE LIVES!!!!!!

mom of two boys says:

I have a very large family (my mom was 1 of eight so I have lots of cousins) so when we were younger an easter egg hunt was the big excitement. My grandpop and grandmom would fill the plastic eggs with money…One egg would have the grand prize of $20.00 It was always fun to see who would win it. It usually was an infant cousin who had no idea what was going on. Now I realize 20 dollars could but that little guy some diapers or formula…

KarenM says:

My favorite memory of Easter is my brother and me hunting all over the yard for eggs that my parents had hidden and that we had decorated. My parents would tirelessly re-hide them over and over until the eggs were ready to be thrown away (saved out some to eat!).

Beth says:

My 2nd favorite Easter memory with my family is when I was 25 my dad came to SC to visit me, and he wanted to hide eggs. So there I was a 25 year old hunting easter eggs with my dad like I was a kid. That was the last easter we shared together. My first favorite easter is the first easter morning, because with out the resurrection of Christ, we would all be lost still. Praise God for how much He loves us!!!

Val says:

Attending church!

K. Doyle says:

One of my favorite memories is coming home from church with three kids to find their Easter baskets (The Easter Bunny doesn't leave the baskets until after you go to church.) My two year was sitting to take a picture with his basket and took a huge bite out of his dark chocolate Godiva Easter Bunny. Cutest picture ever!

Ajones88 says:

Watching my kids find their Easter baskets.

Qsaver704 says:

Every year mom would make the “bunny” cake equipped with a chocolate bunny, green dyed coconut for grass, and many different types of candy for decoration. I also enjoyed going to sunrise service with dad even when the others were too tired to go.

Dana says:

My favorite memory is going to my mother in laws house. All the kids have a different color egg and we (the adults) stuff them with money and change. Some eggs have a penny and some have a dollar. It's so fun to watch them hunt for their colors and so fun to see them open them up and see what they have inside. The smiles on the kids faces are make wonderful memories each year.

Tishahardee says:

My favorite memory is of my daddy hiding a single cadbury egg for me to find every day of the week leading up to Easter! I love them still to this day!

LA Henson says:

I love our Easter church service each year!

Brooke says:

I always enjoyed hunting Easter eggs at my grandmother's house!

Hbruchie says:

I have a favorite tradition that I do with my Sunday School Class,.. On Palm Sunday we make crosses out of palm fronds (like origami) then on Easter we always make little “He's alive Rolls”. We roll big marshmallows up in crescent roll dough and cover them with lots of sugar and cinnamon. After they bake the big huge marshmallow that we had to make sure was covered is now gone, and it's looks like an empty tomb. We just have a fun time learning every Easter about Christ is not dead, HE'S ALIVE!!! :)

Fields9709 says:

One of my favorite easter memories is when my 1st born at 1 1/2 years old was able to say, when asked why do we celebrate easter.. because Jesus lives!

Rlf6915 says:

my 9 month old and the baby egg hunt on a blanket. I can't wait to have fun again this year!

Lacey says:

I was 13 years old and my father was 38 when we were both baptized on Easter Sunday. I can remember my purple dress and my dad's nice suit that he wore. We still go to that same church 15 years later. What a special memory to share!

Mbeck1861 says:

dying eggs with the kids as they concentrate on getting them JUST the right color.

Kriss says:

My favorite Easter memory coincides with the first time I ever celebrated Easter with its common American traditions. I was able to hunt for eggs for the first time at the age of 21! What fun!

Rachel says:

My favorite Easter memory is when we spent it in Michigan with my Mom's best friend and her kids, we actually call them our cousins. It was so much fun having all the kids around.

Jenni P says:

My favorite Easter memory is the egg-hunt that my family had in our own back yard of our own house for the first time. My husband going out and “hiding” the eggs (not really, because our kids were so young), and then the two of us leading the kids outside into the sunshine and giving them hints as they toddled around the yard. It was a peaceful, ideal little moment in time for our family.

Deborah says:

Sunrise service on the beach!

Thimblefull says:

One Easter my Grandfather gave all 21 of his grandchildren a 50 cent coin. I know how long it must have taken him to save those. Back then they were made of silver. My Grandfather made that a special Easter for all of the grandchildren from the oldest to the youngest. I hope I am making memories with my grandchildren that they will always cherish.

j&bsmom says:

I love looking at pictures of my kids from Easter's past, all dressed up and ready for church! My favorite memory is watching the little ones at church flower a special cross on Easter Sunday!

Cohensmom06 says:

Waking to baskets and hunting eggs!

Cmskelton says:

Egg hunting at my grandmother's in our Easter dresses (a long time ago…and she has since passed).

Krystal says:

I would love this for my kids, I have not found a way to explain the real meaning of Easter to them yet!

Candice says:

Sunrise service on the porch of the church followed by breakfast in the fellowship hall….what a great way to start Easter!!! (Oh, and the HUGE egg hunt after breakfast was always so much fun!!!)

Katie Yommer says:

My favorite memory is the peace and quiet of our sunrise service last year. Sitting in the cold light of dawn with my husband and my kids was just amazing!

Guest says:

My favorite Easter memory is the first one I spent with my (now) husband which was also the first Easter for my niece. We colored Eatser eggs with my niece (which really meant my boyfriend and I were coloring Easter eggs.) Took lots of pictures and watching him hold my niece. The next day he went to church with my family and I. It was the point in time I knew I would marry him.

LauraBo says:

We love watching the annual Easter play at our church!

Momof4 says:

Attending service with my family!

Megan says:

My favorite memory of Easter was when my now 6 year old told me the Easter story and how Jesus died for us. She told us it was not about candy but Jesus!!

Nicki Corum says:

One of my favorite Easter memories is hunting eggs at my Granny's house. It was always a great time for us all to spend time together.

Momofthreeboys says:

I have 3 kids and each Easter we talk about the resurection story and talk about how we can Glorify God. I think as each year passes its important to look at the year passed and see how we can improve our walk with God.

Sarah Potter says:

04/08/2011 at 6:21 pm

My favorite memory of Easter is making a bunny “nest” out of grass in my back yard when I was child. I was delighted to find it filled with treats in the morning!!

Christakidd14 says:

04/08/2011 at 6:21 pm

My mom used to hide Eastwr eggs for us to find and we would always dye eggs.

monkeysmom says:

As a child, picking flowers with my sisters to put on the cross in front of our church. As an adult, watching my 5 year old hunt eggs with her grandmother and great grandmother because I know those will be memories she will keep with her.

Couponkelly75 says:

Sunrise Service Easter sunday at Callaway Gardens.

Kelly says:

We honestly never did much for Easter when I was growing up, other than getting a basket. I am going to start NEW traditions for my 3 boys, and they would LOVE these eggs :)

Lynsy says:

My favorite memories are loading our van and driving from IL to Florida to spend Easter week with my grandparents. We would rent a cottage on Indian Rocks beach (which sadly, they no longer exist and have been replaced with high rises!) We would attend a sunrise service and follow it up with an Easter egg hunt on the beach.

jr911 says:

My favorite memory is sunrise service at church each year.

Michelleg1 says:

These sound great! I know my three year old son would love this. It's such a fun way to share the true meaning of Easter.
I remember growing up going to my church a few weeks before Easter with my mom and making chocolate/peanut butter eggs. The church would then sell them to make money for the Women's Ministries. It was such a fun time that I always looked forward to.

Rusty Painter says:

Last year, my the 3 year old daughter came home from preschool very excited. She crawled up in my wife's lap and said that we didn't have to be sad anymore. When asked why, she said “Because Jesus isn't in the tomb. He is alive!”

We were then able to get her to tell the Easter story on video. Every time we watch it, we tear up,

Everts98 says:

Growing up I always loved to get our Easter baskest. Even when I got married and moved away the bunny somehow would send me a basket in the mail. Now a days, I love to watch my kids color eggs and search for the Golden and Silver egg.

Ralumpkin says:

The Easter I was 4 and my sister was 2. We woke up Easter morning to find not only our Easter baskets and stuffed animal bunnies (which 37 years later I still have mine), but we also got baby ducks. I know now that my parents adopted them from the local wildlife museum, and later that summer we took them back to museum a released two beautiful Mallard ducks. I will never forget that Easter.

KC Paulk says:

One of my favorite Easter memories happened actually happened after Easter time. By son was 5 at the time and we were talking about going to church and why we go to church etc. He said “But Mommy I KNOW Jesus is My Lord and Savior” It made my heart smile :-) KC

Frances S. says:

My favorite Easter memory was having my birthday fall on Easter and my Mom making me an Easter bunny birthday cake.

Sarahabill says:

My favorite memory of Easter was waking up that morning and being so excited to see my Easter basket. I came downstairs and searched the house all over only to find out that my mom forgot to put the baskets out. That was a real bummer as a child. haha!

Mother Of Cai says:

We have a seasonal tree up and I decorate it for each month. For Easter this year I put little plastic eggs in the tree, before my boys can go get a egg we go over the verses leading up to the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. They review over what they have learned the past few days and then they will go pick an egg, some have candy and some have a toy inside.

MJ says:

One of my favorite memories of Easter is the tradition of placing live flowers on the cross as a family during Easter church service.

HeatherAnne:) says:

Waking up Easter morning and looking for the baskets the Bunny left for us during the night!

April says:

My grandchildren would love to hear the Easter story by using these eggs. My favorite Easter memory is everyone loading up and going to Grandmother's house for a big easter egg hunt after Easter Sunday Morning service. This was a great time to get together with everyone you love and all us children had a blast….

I have always loved celebrating Easter! Growing up, we would spend Easter morning at church. There was always a special service with lots of singing. We would remember what Christ did for us and thank Him as a church. Then, my family and I would drive an hour to my grandma's house for a special dinner. Grandma always had Easter baskets waiting for us, and we would spend the afternoon decorating eggs. Then we would have a big ham dinner. Grandma always had a special butter in the shape of a lamb at the table.

Our church performed a live outdoor drama of the passion story – we go the crowd involved & the story came to life

Favorite Easter Memories? Egg hunts when I was a child. And, sharing the story of Jesus with my children. They enjoyed Resurrection Eggs, as well as the story books we had.

Karmin says:

my favorite Easter memory was going to my memaw and pepaws house…they lived in the North Carolina Mtns…we always lived 4-6 hours away from them and didnt get to see them much….all of us grandchildren would dye eggs and hide them at the playground near where my grandparents lived……it wasnt about finding the most eggs….it was about spending time with my cousins and grandparents….we had a awesome time…Sunday morning.we would all go to church together in our new Easter outfits!!! love those memories!!!!!

Elizabeth says:

When I was little, my great-Grandpa would come to our house for Easter. During our Easter egg hunts, he would be telling us kids “you're getting hotter/colder,” etc. It was so much fun, and watching the old movies my parents took back then is quite hilarious!

Jhardy23 says:

My favorite was always sunrise service with my grandmother, but with my boys it really is coming home from church and doing an easter egg hunt.

sarah says:

My favorite Easter memory is getting together with family and doing an Easter Egg hunt after church and dinner and my grandfather making some sort of Bunny cake with coconut on it but leaving a plain piece for me!

salexander1810 says:

I remember going to to church early on Easter Sunday and then after church going to hunt eggs at my grandparents, but I want my kids to know the true meaning of Easter, and not the commericalized meaning (Easter Bunny). I think this would be a great way to teach them they are 3 and 5. Thanks

Tamara Manning says:

My favorite memory of Easter would be the 3D bunny and lamb cakes that my Grandma always made – one for each grandchild. My LEAST favorite memory is from when I was about 10 and my wrap skirt fell off when I was walking into church. Thank goodness I had a long spring coat on!

Melissa says:

Easter is such a wonderful holiday. I have good memories of a family gathering where everyone brought a dish and we had a huge egg hunt.

I grew up in New York state so I remember one year my Mom bought big rabbit feet and hopped around in the snow and my sister and I TOTALLY believed that the Easter Bunny had been there!! It was great fun but, I'm so happy to be teaching my children the True meaning of Easter and would love some Resurrection Eggs to help!! Thanks

When I was single and living away from “home,” my boss invited me to his house with his family for a super special dinner for a lonely person.

angie quinton says:

Easter Egg hunting with my parents and grandparents and eating deviled eggs, ham and potato salad!

Jenlee311 says:

My most memorable Easter was the year that my family had a huge Easter egg fight after we finished hunting all the eggs.

BevJM says:

When I was five (many moons ago) our Golden Lab gave birth to a litter of roly-poly puppies. We were more excited about that than chocolate eggs!

Roxanne says:

My fav memory was waking up and walking into the livin room, and there on the couch was mine and my brothers' easter baskets filled with something special for each of us, and of course candy!

Alangston says:

My grandmother would make all the grandchildrens Easter Baskets filled with yummy candies and toys. then we would go to Church together and get our baskets after church…

tswiger says:

As a little girl we would get up before daylight and travel to my grandparents where we would have Easter breakfast around a huge round table in their dining room. We took turns eating because there was so many of us. Then all of the kids would walk down the dirt road to a small church to Sunday School. I was very blessed to have the family I had.

Floridacouponmama says:

My favorite memory of Easter is dying and decorating eggs with my Mom. She's gone now, but it's those little things that add up to a ton of happy memories!

Jennifer says:

My ALL TIME FAVORITE Easter memory was made just last year. My eldest daughter (now 7) had just made a profession of faith on Valentine's Day so she was seeing Easter through a believer's eyes. I started on “Good Friday” reading the “Easter story” to her as closely to what I believed the correct order of events would have been. We went through Jesus' “trial and conviction”, His walk carrying His own cross, His being hung on the cross, etc. Each time, I took care to put as much emphasis, emotion and drama into reading the scripture as I could. On Easter morning, I woke her excitedly and said, “Osjha! It's Sunday morning! It's. EASTER Sunday morning!!! Let's go check on Jesus!” She scrambled down out of her bunk bed so quickly she almost fell. We hurried to the master bedroom where I already had the blinds raised, and looked out in the back yard where the sun was just about to make it's appearance. Then, I read the scripture about Mary's trek to the tomb. We “watched” her walk across our back yard and turned to look behind us where the angel appeared to us as well. With tears in my eyes, and genuine joy and relief in my heart, I explained to my six-year-old sweetheart that all was well with the world because it had been Friday, but Sunday had indeed come. I said, “Osjha, we have to go tell EVERYONE!” She ran, I. Mean. RAN to tell her three little sisters, her Daddy, her baby brother, and then hurried breathless back to where I stood in my bedroom, and said, “MOMMY! Does GRANDMA know?!?!?!?” At that point, I began to sob uncontrollably. Our Lord's resurrection was no longer just a story in a book to my baby girl. He was ALIVE that Sunday morning! And, He lives today and forevermore. . .in my heart and in the life of a little Princess who, without hesitation, asks our cashier at Wal-Mart if she knows God, and then quotes John 3:16. THAT is my favorite Easter memory!!! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share. GOD BLESS YOU!

My husband was a childrens pastor. We were pregnant with baby #2 and due May 2. Of course we had a huge easter egg hunt planned for Easter sunday. Wouldnt you know it, I went in to labor at 12:30 am Easter morning. Our sweet baby boy was born at 4:03 am on April 23, 2000. Needless to say our awesome childrens workers took care of the Easter service and the egg hunt for us!

My favorite memory of Easter as a child was the yearly egg hunt at my grandparents.

carrie says:

Hunting hidden plastic Easter eggs!!

Imswept says:

This is going to sound funny but, my favorite Easter memory is when my father was cooking a leg of lamb on the grill (this was back in the 70s) and the fire flared and it caught on fire! The next thing we saw was my dad running around the pool deck with a flaming leg of lamb on a spit. It was so funny!!!!

Careyrivers says:

My Granddaddy “decorates” the trailer behind his tractor and gives all the kids (and adults!) rides after Easter dinner-it's so cool now that my kids do it especially since we live in the city and they think they are living a whole new life out there!

Kary says:

Oh I loved waking up to treats in my basket and then getting all dressed up for church and then going to lunch and an Easter egg hunt with our large family.

Sidsmom24 says:

my favorite Easter memory is my first Easter with my first child, my daughter…I waited a long time for her, and I was so proud to take her to church with her pretty “Easter dress”!! I got to do the whole bunny basket thing with her, and I am happy to say that she been going to church ever since! We have moved in the last year and misplace our egg set so this would be a nice surprise for both of my kids as well as my sunday school class!! **fingers crossed** HAPPY EASTER TO YOU!!

Reagan says:

The generosity of my grandma always buying me an Easter dress.

My favorite memory of Easter is spending it with my kids. :)

Tlingg says:

04/08/2011 at 6:32 pm

My favorite Easter memories are all of us wearing our new fancy Easter clothes for church – my sister and I in usually coordinating dresses with white gloves and hats, my brothers in their suits. And of course there were the egg hunts my parents would do for us. They would hide eggs for us in our yard with change inside – pennies, nickels, dimes – we were so excited to find all of those treasures.

Kamnsc says:

04/08/2011 at 6:32 pm

My favorite memory is of getting a new Easter dress each year and going to church with my family.

I have never seen these but would love to start this tradition with our first born, who will be 10mo this Easter season. What a blessing. Thanks for the giveaways!!

Jessica says:

04/08/2011 at 6:33 pm

last year our church had an amazing Good Friday service that brought me to tears…simply from reading Scripture and reminding our congregation what Jesus suffered so that we may know Him through the forgiveness of our sins.

twinmomaaa says:

Oh my goodness I would love one of these sets for my 3 girls. My favorite easter memory is going to Easter mass with my family.

Valerie says:

04/08/2011 at 6:34 pm

The year our black lab Beauty got out of her crate and ransacked the Easter baskets…we spent the morning at the Vet and then crying our way through Church. It was quite traumatizing for us kids, but helped us remember the real reason for Easter was not Chocolate bunnies….hahaha

L337momma says:

04/08/2011 at 6:34 pm

waking up and finding that mom had splurged and bought us chocolate eggs, she had taped one to my bedroom door :~)

my favorite easter memory is inviting a hispanic student and his family to our church's easter party complete with cascarones (sp?) and the student coming to church with us for years after that first invite.

Brandi_b_77 says:

04/08/2011 at 6:35 pm

When I was a child, we would go spend Easter at the lake. It was so nice to spend time with extended family!!

Kara says:

04/08/2011 at 6:36 pm

We shy away from too many traditions that aren't resurrection-related, but I have started an egg scavenger hunt where each egg has a clue that leads to another clue and ultimately a little special something. But my favorite thing is emphasizing the resurrection and watching it really sink in more and more each year.

just Q says:

04/08/2011 at 6:37 pm

my favorite memory is the year my neighor “scared” the easter bunny and he dropped all his treats in our front yard..

Natasha says:

04/08/2011 at 6:37 pm

My favorite Easter memory is taking our family portrait in front of the cross on Easter morning. All of the church members bring in beautiful flowers to put on the cross creating a stunning Easter cross for all to enjoy.

Bullseye10 says:

04/08/2011 at 6:37 pm

My favorite memory is my son's 1st Easter. We were in the military stationed in Cuba and the one and only store did not have much a varity so we baught a stuffed frog to put in his basket. Not your typical Easter basket stuff animal. He is 14 and still has it. It brings a smile to my face.

kkmommy says:

04/08/2011 at 6:39 pm

My kids are 3 and 4, so they are just beginning to grasp the concept that Jesus died on the cross and rose into heaven and lives on with us in spirit every day. I would love to have a meaningful way to talk about this with them. Unfortunately, in my childhood there was only the emphasis on the 'commerical' idea of Easter, so I am hoping to build a new faith-based tradition with my children.

Katie says:

04/08/2011 at 6:39 pm

My favorite Easter memory is actually quite embarrassing. It was my babies first Easter, he was almost one and I had bought the CUTEST suit for him to wear to church, (all you moms know where this is going). I got it all ironed and looking perfect and even waited until we only had five minutes until time to leave to put it on him, so it wouldn't get all wrinkled. Wouldn't you know literally 1 minute after I put it on him he threw up ALL over his white shirt. I didn't have time to clean it, I just had to wipe it off the best I could. I was a crying mess.. i was SO upset that our perfect Easter was ruined. Then after being very upset and finally getting in the car I realized it really didn't matter at all. Easter wasn't about how cute my 1 year old looked, I was missing the point completely. Since then I always think of that Easter when I am getting my kids ready and what the day is REALLY about.

Cara says:

04/08/2011 at 6:39 pm

Favorite Easter tradition is Easter egg hunts with our small children. Of course, going to church on Easter Sunday is so special too!

Amynycol says:

04/08/2011 at 6:41 pm

My memories of Easter: It was always a whole weekend event. Our church holds a Good Friday Gospel singing on Friday night and people would come from everywhere to visit. People came from from IN to FL to visit in us in AL. On Saturday we would get together with family. Sunday we all got to wear our new dresses and matching hats to church. Everyone always looked forward to their new outfits. Then we went to Grandma's for the big Easter egg hunt. It was wonderful times and I am still carrying on these triditions for my kids. Except now we eat dinner and have the egg hunt at church on Sunday with our friends. :)

Jessica says:

04/08/2011 at 6:43 pm

I don't remember many Easter's growing up. So my favorite Easter memory would have to be my nephew's third Easter. By that age, he really understood and loved the decorating the eggs. Looking back at the pictures always makes me smile.

emily says:

04/08/2011 at 6:43 pm

We had a bunch of friends over after church who were all in town like us and had a potluck with Mexican food. It was fun to break away from the norm. We made a little 5 egg resurrection egg set of our own and my daughter LOVES it she would probably be giddy over a 12 egg set! (she's 2.5)

Rh says:

04/08/2011 at 6:43 pm

My children both have special Easter baskets that get filled every year. They are too small to actually hunt eggs in, but the baskets are a special part of our tradition.

Cj Girton says:

04/08/2011 at 6:44 pm

My favorite Easter memory was in 2009. Chloe was born the Monday prior to Easter. So, her first Sunday ever was Easter Sunday. We got her all dressed up and took her to see her great granddad for the first time ever. I have a picture of him holding her and the big goofy grin on his face. That is my favorite Easter memory and one of my favorite with my Granddad.

Babylynn25 says:

04/08/2011 at 6:44 pm

I was Baptised at the Easter Vigil service at my church 2 years ago :) Favorite memory to date…although it competes with the adorable fleece bunny suit my daughter wore for her first Easter!

Nicole says:

04/08/2011 at 6:44 pm

Last Easter we moved to our beautiful new home just in time for the bunny to hide baskets in our new home! It will always be a wonderful memory for me!

Nwooten73 says:

04/08/2011 at 6:46 pm

I especially love sharing the eggs with the preschoolers. It helps them remember the important parts of the story. We have our homemade set, but would love the 'real' set for our family.

Erikamacias says:

04/08/2011 at 6:46 pm

My favorite memories are of my Aunt who would make each of our Easter baskets by hand. None of this store bought stuff!

Studioami says:

My favorite easter memory is of when I hunted easter eggs at my papaw and granny's house. Papaw has not been with us for 11 years as of April 1, 2011, but his memory is still with us. I have a picture that was taken when I was very young of my sister, my cousin, and I sitting with my papaw with our easter baskets full of eggs. We were all smilling and having the best time.

Lgartrel says:

Growing up, my parents would get together an Easter basket and hide them for each of us to find. I loved reading and remember a special Easter basket that included two of my favorite books which I still have on my book shelf.

Littleprincess7975 says:

My favorite Easter is when my mom and dad hid Easter eggs for my fiance' and me for our first Easter together. Jeff and I had so much fun and it was pretty competitive to see who got the most eggs.

I think it will be this year,,,I have a 13 month old grandson and his first Easter Egg Hunt. Easter has such a special meaning of hope!

Kidstuffgirl says:

04/08/2011 at 6:48 pm

Mom always makes us a basket and has us kids hunt for plastic easter eggs with quarters in them to play card games. It's kinda strange because my youngest sister is turning 18 tomorrow! But we still do it! We love it!

Nikki says:

04/08/2011 at 6:49 pm

My fav Easter memory is when my grandma let me help her decorate a tree in the bag yard with hanging pink and yellow plastic eggs – I just thought it was the most fun!

Andrea says:

04/08/2011 at 6:50 pm

Three years ago I was teaching the 3-6 year olds on Maundy Thursday, and we re-enacted the Last Supper. The Spirit of God was in that classroom as much as in the sanctuary where the adults were taking Eucharist.

Maia says:

04/08/2011 at 6:50 pm

I love easter dinners with my family and maybe inlaws too. My mom's cooking is always the best. Going to church and watching my kids chasing after the older kids for eggs are unforgettable moments.

Zukeeper6 says:

04/08/2011 at 6:50 pm

My favorite Easter memory is when I was 15 and my friend, John, invited me to church with him for the first time. I went with him, heard the Gospel and walked down the isle to receive the gift of salvation. John baptized me that morning. What a beautiful thing to be born again on the day we celebrate our Savior's resurrection. And how special to have my friend be the one to not only lead me to Christ but to also baptize me. I am forever grateful. :)

My sisters and I had our Easter outfits on for church and we were all carrying those little purses that were round with a little doll in the middle. (am I showing my age?) This was the early 70's. Well, my dad was taking pictures of us all in the front yard and I noticed the first “buttercup” as we called them. I went to go smell it when I saw the “golden egg.” I recall being real quite and looking back at my dad because the “hunt” wasn't until after church!
Well, 20 years later little did I know I would be standing there, taking pictures with my children in their Easter outfits. Overnight we had had an unseasonable snowfall that covered up all the hidden eggs and the generations of buttercups! My youngest son says, “It's okay we know where the golden egg is”! I just love that has it has brought back years of life going full circle and carrying on family traditions!!

Ourhomeschoolreviews says:

My favorite memory is waking up on Easter morning and finding all the Easter eggs. Would love to win this for my daughter.

Lisabluedevil says:

Wearing new Easter Dresses and shivering as we stood outside in our church's prayer garden for our Easter Sunrise Service.

Linda Muir says:

I love the annual tradition we had of hiding plastic eggs after Easter dinner at the Grandparents house. We hid eggs for our boys and their cousins multiple times, and they LOVED searching for and finding them. Evidently, they missed a few each time, because Grandmama often found them, here and there, as she gardened for years afterwards!

Surgibelle says:

My favorite Easter memory was being baptised as an adult (on Easter Sunday)and knowing my 4 week old fetus was being blessed as well as myself.

Jillian says:

Dying Easter Eggs!

My most favorite Easter was when we decided to make baskets for each of my grandkids and all the neighbor kids who otherwise would not get anything for Easter. We ended up making 54 baskets and hiding over 600 plastic candy-filled eggs! Priceless memories!

Butngrl says:

04/08/2011 at 6:57 pm

My favorite Easter memory was the year after my husband past away. I was 23 and very much the scene of a widowed military wife…it was a sad time. I was driving down the road, when I stopped at a red light. There was a homeless man standing on the corner holding a sign, and I was so out of focus with the world at the time, I didn't see him until I was turning the corner. I felt so bad for not seeing him, I parked in the lot next to the corner and walked to him. There we stood face-to-face and it was then, that I read his sign. 'I am a military vet. I do not want money, only to remind you why Christ died for you…and is going to come back….are you ready?'. My world was much clearer after that. We walked to have a cup of coffee and a bite to eat…I just wanted him to know how much I needed to be reminded of God's love….right then! It is an example of how our God is still and ON TIME GOD.

Happy Easter!

Getting to wear new Easter dresses and go to Church as a Family and enjoy the great message of what Jesus did for us!

MommaLB says:

My favorite Easter Memories comes from the huge family dinner after Easter service. My mother would always cook a huge meal…. now that she celebrates with Jesus in heaven. So the sweet memories with my Mother mean all the more. Praise the Lord I know I will see her again one day and that is the real reason behind Easter in the first place.

Lk Tompkins says:

Family! and the fact that we can always remember we are saved by his Grace! also making Easter baskets with my boys out of gourds.

My favorite memory was coming home from church and finding my new pet rabbit in a box in the living room. Suddenly I knew why my mother took so long to leave the house that morning. :-)

jfred says:

oh, I LOVE resurrection eggs! We had them when I taught kindergarten, and the kids adored them!

Fave Easter memory…so many! The one I always remember–I was just out of college, living on my own, and had to work at 3am on Easter am. After church (which I mostly nodded off and on during–cause of working beforehand), I was invited to my friend's house. Her mom invited a bunch of us who didn't get to go “home” to come eat dinner with them. And I remember how the sun shone through the windows at the table, and how much fun it was to be with friends and friends who were like family. We laughed and talked and shared. The mom is now with the Lord, and it makes me sad and happy all at the same time.

Wendy Fluckiger says:

Getting new Easter dresses for church.

laura says:

My favorite Easter memories are definitely the time spent with my family. We would wake up early and attend the sunrise service at our church together. What sacred and meaningful services they were!! Then we would come home, read the Easter story and make sticky buns. My parents infused meaning and discussions into each activity. We'd go to my grandmother's house and hide eggs for my cousins and younger siblings. Wonderful memories and I hope to provide similar ones for my own little girls! :)

Trish Chambers says:

Our favorite Easter activity is coloring eggs and reading over the Easter story with our three boys.

Katie Benefield says:

My favorite Easter memories are going to the sunrise service at my church as a child. Oh, how we complained about getting up so EARLY, but it was always such a sweet service. We then would have a good ole Southern Sunday morning breakfast!

Michellev says:

My favorite Easter memory was the first year my oldest son really got into the easter egg hunt. He was so excited with each and every find. It was so fun to watch his joy!

Anita says:

My favorite Easter memory was going to Easter services with my grandmother Carr. She was so excited to have me in town for church that I got introduced to everyone, twice.

Sara Hill says:

My favorite Easter memory is dying easter eggs in all colors of the rainbow with my sister. When we finished there was always the anticipation of the bunny hiding them that night. My favorite quote to my little sister was “the sooner you go to bed the sooner morning comes”. Before the sun was fully up one of us was sure to wake and peek outside to see if we could spot one in the yard or if they were hidden inside the house. Once the festivities of the hunt were over my dad crack a few and create deviled eggs for brunch. The rest were a simple decoration by placing them in a dish on our table. Brunch was always sure to be good but the candy from our baskets afterwards was even better!

Kasey says:

I would love to get these to start this tradition with my 2 year old and newborn boys. My favorite Easter memories are the Easter Bunny foot prints that my parents left throughout our neighborhood (no matter where we lived). They used cardboard cutouts and a stocking with flour in it to pound the prints onto the cement. It was so fun to track the prints!

JaimeK says:

I think the most memorable Easter memory my family has ever had was 3 years ago. My 3 sisters and I were at our parents' home, entertaining my children on the back porch until 'the husbands' finished hiding the eggs. One sister called for her dog, Belleza, to return to her since she had not seen the dog in a while. (My parents have 7 acres) Belleza, a Brittany 'Spaniel', promptly returned to us bearing a gift.
Her gift was that of a half-eaten rabbit!!! As my sisters and I were loudly grossing out and teasing our sister for her dog's hunting prowess, a wail pierced through and promptly had our attention.
My then 3yr old daughter was so upset! I began consoling her about how that's normal, but threw her tears she told me, “Mommy, we can't have Easter anymore since 'leza ate the bunny rabbit!” I couldn't help but laugh. We all hugged her, told her everything was fine-she would get to search for eggs in just a moment, and when my husband came to see what happened, he quickly told how that rabbit was just a cousin to the real Easter Bunny, since the Easter Bunny is white and that one was tan.
Our daughter calmed down and enjoyed herself the rest of the day. We all got to have a great dinner and a time to share and better explain why we celebrate Easter to the little ones.

I was blessed with a mother who knows how to sew. At the time, I didn't think it was much of a big deal, but now I have such great memories of picking out fabric and patterns for my Easter dress each year. Of course, growing up, there were times that I wished she would just take me to the mall and pick out a dress from the store but now I'm so happy to have memories of mom staying up late Easter eve so I could wake up on Easter Sunday to a new dress to wear to church.

My favorite memory is hunting Easter eggs at my grandparents' house each year, they have since both gone to be with the Lord, but it's nice to think back to that time we had with them.

I loved making these little easter egg shaped cakes (really, I think it's just yellow cake mix in an egg shaped pan that was as old as the hills) and using boiled icing with food coloring to make the toppings.

Love this idea, so much better than putting money or candy in the eggs. My kids favorite time of year is Easter. We play games, do crafts, make yummy treats and enjoy the day

My parents didn't take us to church when we were growing up, so Easter to us meant an egg hunt on base (dad was in the Army), followed by a huge brunch buffet. Now, my husband and I attend church regularly and are excited to share the word with our almost- 3 year old and 4 month old! I'd love a set of these eggs :)

April says:

04/08/2011 at 7:12 pm

Egg hunts with my family. The adults would hide the eggs for the kids to find and then the kids (me!) would hide the eggs for the adults to find. We did this ALL day!

My favorite Easter memory is the easter egg hunt at my great aunt Mary Frances's house.

My fav memory is that my cousins would come stay at our house for thaty Saturday night. When we would wake up my Mom would have all of use baskets of candy and little things. Then we would get dressed up in our very “Eastery” outfits and head to our church.

Rita says:

04/08/2011 at 7:14 pm

I now have a 4 and 7 year old “great” niece and nephew living with me. This will be their second Easter hunt with me. I love the Easter Egg Hunt … but what a great idea to bring in the real meaning of Easter with the Resurrection Eggs.

Though it was over 30 years ago in Japan, at the church I attended (I wasn't Christian then yet), we had Easter service and then had an egg hunt. The eggs were not like those we do here; filled with candies and goodies. They were colored boiled egg but we thought it was the best thing ever. I remember we had a wonderful time. Every year, I do think about my first egg hunt in Japan. Years later, I became a Christian here in the US.

Waking up and finding what the easter bunny left! Dying eggs, family, etc.

JD says:

04/08/2011 at 7:18 pm

Every year my church had an Easter Egg hunt and picnic at one of the members' house (with huge yards and lots of room to play). All the way through high school it was a great event and we spent weeks making our moms make us outfits to match our friends.

Laura Mcclure says:

My favorite Easter memories are dying eggs and hunting for them with my two children and my two nieces and nephew. They actually love to hide and hunt eggs all year round!

Lynneweeks says:

04/08/2011 at 7:19 pm

every year we had easter egg hunts with real eggs – even into our teen and college years – these were not egg hunts for little kids – these were extremely competitive. The hard boiled eggs would get crushed and smashed as we “fought” to find the most. We did the egg hunt several times each easter. One year when it was raining we had to have it inside and my brother and I both saw an egg by the globe we both went for it and that was the end of the globe but I got the egg!

I always enjoyed how my mom would make my sister and I a special easter hunt in our own rooms of little easter goodies that she had bought when we were little. Now I have little ones and am wondering if I should start the same tradition or a new one.

Sonja says:

04/08/2011 at 7:21 pm

Love to “color” eggs every year. But my favorite memory about Easter is praising our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!

JennC says:

I loved when my grandmother would take me (as a child) to the dogwood tree in her front yard each Easter to tell me of the symbolism the blossom. The cross was represented by the 4 petals, the nails were represented by the marks on the outer edges of the petals, and the crown of thorns was represented by the center of the bloom. If this is not a testament to His perfect design, I don't know what is! Sadly, my grandmother died in 2001 but we chose to have dogwood blooms inscribed on her headstone.

Kelley says:

Singing “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today!” One of my favorites after hearing about the Resurrection!! :)

4gladkids says:

New Easter clothes for church and a big easter egg hunt with family and friends at a farm.

Dressing in our Sunday best and having a party for Jesus!

Monica says:

My favorite Easter memory is the egg hunt. Love finding the golden egg.

Kteacher1980 says:

My favorite Easter memory was last Easter when we got to celebrate with our three month old son, Braden. The birth of our son is a beginning of new life, just as the Savior offers us a new life.It is also exciting to pass on other traditions like Easter baskets, egg hunts, and a meal with family.

MudMom says:

My Mom used to make big individual easter egg piñatas for all the children in our family. After hunting easter egg hunting we would get blind folded and take swings at our piñatas. Of course, it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun if they wouldn't have video taped it for laughs even to this day! It's a tradition I carry on with my kids!

Hbannist says:

Favorite memories are Sunrise Services at the lake. Wonderful day to praise our Creator.

CS says:

me and my sister dying easter eggs in the kitchen. Me being little enough then to sit on the counter and “help” as best as I could

Cpk153 says:

Hunting for hidden easter eggs and the year my dad forgot where he hid the last one and we didn't find it until the summer heat helped us locate it.

Frazierangela87 says:

going to church to worship the reason for Easter….

Stacie says:

waking up in the morning to the bunny footprints across the floors…i do it for my kids now and they love it!

Lynnie says:

My family didn't like hard boiled eggs, but enjoyed decorating them. We used to put pin holes in the top and bottom of the egg and blow the insides out! It was hard work, but great memories:)

Lori says:

As I think about Easters as a child, one stands out in particular. My family was very involved in our little Methodist church, so it came as no surprise when my dad was contacted when a German couple bicycling through the US wanted to spend the night in our church on a stopover. It was the Saturday before Easter, and instead of contacting a committee to make that decision, my dad invited them to stay at our house. That night, after dinner, they showed us how they dyed their eggs back home. They boiled onion peels to make the dye and boiled the eggs in that water. Then, they used a black ink pen to draw pictures and designs when the eggs were dry. The next morning, I donned the Easter frock, but that wasn't nearly as exciting as it normally would have been. Instead, I couldn't wait to get to church to share with friends all that I had learned from these strangers. As I look back, the greatest lesson came from my parents' acts of kindness, tolerance, and sacrifice to give these strangers a place to sleep the night before Easter — an appropriate lesson, indeed.

Brandiqueen1 says:

Every Easter has been memorable to me – but my favorite Easter memory would have to be our middle child's first Easter. Dressing her up and sharing with her what Easter is about – along with sharing this memory with her older sister!

Dawn J says:

I remember one year when my little girl woke to see little white bunny footprints going from a window to the coffee table where her Easter basket was waiting. The look on her face was priceless!

cher says:

My daughter's first year easter, which was adorable

fletchtr says:

My favorite Easter memory is going on egg hunts at church. We would have so much fun hunting for eggs and I never found the gold egg but one year I found a silver egg. I share this tradition with my children today. We also enjoy putting flowers on the cross in front of our church and taking pictures in front of the cross.

Clairegaskin says:

My Dad must have chewed the carrots we left out for the Easter Bunny and we were so amazed that the Bunny didn't eat the whole thing. Also, they left trails of jelly beans thru the house to each of our baskets.

kemdeals says:

singing “He Lives!” at church on Easter Sunday morning!

Being baptized, having first communion and being confirmed on the Easter Vigil 2010. That was my best Easter Ever!

Ali Mixer Campbell says:

We love to make Jesus Cookies every year at easter, but sometimes it's good to stretch it out… wish we had something like this around.

Mandi says:

My son's first Easter – sitting in a sea of eggs in the yard laughing his head off.

carrie says:

donning the easter dress, going to mass as a family, that huge, gorgeous HAM as part of a perfect family meal together

KKsmama says:

Hi to all my Savvy shopper friends!

My favorite Easter memory would definitely be the first Easter my oldest son was able to Easter hunt for hidden eggs at his mimmie and papa's. It was so exciting for him, but probably more exciting for us! He was so cute picking up each treasure and carefully checking out his find, while all the older kids were trying to beat the next kid to fill their basket. He obviously was particular about want went into his basket! LOL!

Now, he has a little brother that will be just as excited to hunt for his first real Easter Egg Hunt with big brother and cousins on Easter Sunday! It will be another treasured memory with many more to come!

Homeschool3kids says:

Even though I have 2 teenagers, they still can't wait to color eggs. We have been coloring eggs since they were toddlers.

Sarah says:

We used to get up early to go to Sonrise service at the town square across the street from our church. We'd also always get a new outfit to wear and it felt so special.

chrystal says:

Opening the Easter basket and finding a huge peanut butter chocolate egg!

Kelli Tesh says:

My grandfather passed away on April 8, 2009, two years ago today! That was the Wednesday before Easter that year. My family and I burried him on the Saturday before Easter. My grandfather was a God loving, Bible preaching man! He loved Jesus and lived everyday for him. My family and I thought it was so appropriate that he was able to spend Easter in Heaven that year with the one who died so we could all spend Easter in Heaven one day! It doesn't matter when Easter is, March or April, my family and I will always know what Easter means and why we celebrate it, because of my grandfather!

Amy says:

My favorite memory of Easter was getting new matching dresses with my 2 sisters when we were young. We always felt so pretty! And now the pictures are fun to look back at.

Lknepper says:

04/08/2011 at 7:30 pm

One Easter, it was damp & chilly, so we hid the eggs inside the house for our girls. They hid & hunted eggs(plastic of course) until Christmas.

Janice says:

04/08/2011 at 7:30 pm

We had a little booklet that told the Resurrection story and when my daughter was just 3 years old she could recite the whole thing word for word! It is a precious memory from her childhood as she is now grown and has her own children.

Slynn says:

04/08/2011 at 7:30 pm

My favorite Easter memory is going to church and getting all dressed up and then getting to hunt eggs in that pretty dress. I didnt have a set of the Resurrection Eggs and I would Love for my granddaughter to have a set!!

Mlyons2279 says:

04/08/2011 at 7:31 pm

My favorite memory of Easter is always going to my Granny's and having a dinner or lunch and hunting easter eggs with my cousins. Usually she had the long marshmellow hard moon shaped colored candy and some other candy too. As an adult our first child was born the day before Easter so that is a great memory.

04/08/2011 at 7:32 pm

We surprised my mother-in-law last year by driving down (about 700 miles) to spend Easter weekend with her. It was also the weekend of my husband's birthday, and she was beyond ecstatic. Otherwise, I just love to picture the empty tomb where Jesus lay!!!

Angela Graham says:

I can always remeber getting a new dress and pocketbook in the mail from my Granny and Grandpa. Also coloring and hiding eggs with my mom, is something I will never forget.

Courtney says:

04/08/2011 at 7:34 pm

My favorite Easter memory is my mother rolling my hair in curlers on Saturday night and sleeping in them to have beautiful curly hair to wear with my new Easter dress to church on Sunday.

luvpink says:

04/08/2011 at 7:34 pm

Sharing the story of the resurrection story with the kids at church. I love seeing their face light up as they open the egg and are surprised by what's in it.

rebecca says:

Going to church on Easter as a child. The pretty dresses and egg hunts.

Susan says:

I have a lot of favorite Easter memories, and they all involve spending Easter with my family celebrating the fact that Jesus is alive!

Lmckie says:

I love the Resurrection Eggs, too. Miss Patty Cake does the best video using the Resurrection Eggs (Egg Stravaganza) and we watch her video every year. I have twin 4 year old girls and they love her!
My best memory of Easter is when I was a little girl, maybe 5 or 6 years old. My mom had planted Tulips during the fall/winter of the previous year. No dought, she had painstakingly ordered the bulbs, put them in the refrigerator for several weeks and lovingly planted each bulb by hand. There must have been 50 or more. She was so proud of their beauty on Easter morning. She must have said how beautiful they were more than once, because I took it upon myself to cut each and every flower (with only a 2 or 3 inch stem) and proceeded to come inside to deliver my beautiful bouquet to my mom. Was she mad? I'm sure she was furious, but she knew that I didn't know any better…so she held her hands out to embrace me and my efforts. I try to remember that same grace each time my girls do something like that!

Absutton says:

We make Easter sugar cut out cookies as a family. My mom would go all out doing this with us girls and then we would deliver them to different family members. So much fun and such GREAT memories!

FreedomSpradley1 says:

My favorite Easter memory is when I used to go to Orangeburg Gardens every year with my extended family to enjoy a huge meal, egg hunt, and softball game. Would love to get the resurrection eggs and start a new Easter tradition.

Mmwonline says:

when my daughter was a toddler (she is 29 now) ran to the door and yelled out “I lub you Easter Bunny!”.

Purvislets says:

My favorite Easter memory was from a couple of years ago. I was only a few weeks from my due date and, out of failure to think things through, wore a bright pink shirt to my family's Easter egg hunt. I was labled the human Easter egg thanks to my swollen belly and those pictures are perhaps my favorite from any Easter! Now, my little Easter egg is 2 and can hunt eggs on his own with his big sister.

Ashley says:

Decorating eggs with my mother and sister, attending church services, and celebrating Easter with our family.

Theopenedcookbook says:

Last year I had a baby girl on Good Friday. She was born premature and had mulitple health issues so I had to go home on Easter morning without her. She was able to come home a few weeks later and to my surprise, all of our family members had come together to celebrate her first easter with us. They even brought back out their Easter decorations so that it would feel like the real thing!!!

Going to Sunrise Service and the Easter Egg Hunt and family dinner afterwards at nana's house :)

Nessastorm says:

04/08/2011 at 7:37 pm

this is an absolutely amazing thing. My best memory was getting up at 5 am and going to Sunrise service that started @ 6 am. After service the men in our church would serve everyone Breakfast of scrambled eggs with pieces of ham inside. It has taken me a long time but I believe just within the past year have I been able to duplicate those eggs. and YES it did take me back to 645 am on Easter Sunday eating in the basement of our church.

Misty says:

04/08/2011 at 7:37 pm

Last year my daughter cracked a bunch of hard boiled easter eggs she got at an egg hunt on our kitchen floor. It was very funny to watch. I can not wait to do the resurrection eggs wtih her. She is 3 1/2 and she will have fun with it.

Holly says:

04/08/2011 at 7:38 pm

I love making up baskets for my kids and my hubby! I also love attending church together as a family!! I have never used the Ressurection Eggs, But I would sure love to win and make it a tradition for my little ones! :) Thanks for a wonderful Give-Away!

Vern6791 says:

04/08/2011 at 7:39 pm

When I was little we would always go to grandmas for Easter, she lived 2 hours away. We would go the church Easter Sunday and when we came home the “bunny” would have left a basket. Our baskets always had a chocolate cross in them. We would have Easter egg hunts and would always re-hide the eggs for the adults ti find. We continued the tradition with the great grandkids and their cousins. Only after my grandparents passing, a few years ago, did the tradition stop.

Flaminalpha says:

04/08/2011 at 7:40 pm

Oh my how I need these! I would love to win them! My 5yr and 3 yr would really enjoy them. My favorite Easter memory was last year, watching my children learn the message behind Easter, I love watching their faces light up as they learn Jesus is alive! This year will surely be even more memorable!

Shelleyschu says:

04/08/2011 at 7:40 pm

I have these eggs and they are very educational and fun for the kids. My favorite Easter memory is having the annual Easter egg hunt at my Grandma T's with all of the grandchildren and kids (about 40-50 or us total). We take pictures and then let the kiddos change for the mass hysteria egg hunt.

Also fav memory is having my daughter say that she wanted to tell me about the Resurection Eggs (we keep them in her room). She told me all about them and that she believed in Jesus. PRICELESS!

Twinmom2 says:

04/08/2011 at 7:41 pm

I remember getting a new Easter dress and going to church and then my grandma's. Dinner at grandma's was always the best.

Jamie Henry says:

04/08/2011 at 7:41 pm

When I was a girl, my grandma, who is in heaven now, used to make my sister and I an Easter dress and buy us a fresh flower with babies breath hairbow from winn dixie. She would say that the flower represented the Risen Lord! Thats my fondest memory of Easter.

Connieb03 says:

04/08/2011 at 7:41 pm

I loved having Easter egg hunts with all my cousins.

Kristenallen2002 says:

04/08/2011 at 7:42 pm

My aunt and my cousins would travel to our house for Easter. We would wake up to the smell of blueberry filled crepes that my mom made from scratch on Easter morning. We would have an Easter egg hunt in my backyard with my cousins and then attend church in our new Easter dresses. I've never heard of Resurrection Eggs and I would love to do this with my own kids and the kids in children's church!

marianthi says:

04/08/2011 at 7:43 pm

Midnight litergy after church we come home and eat all kinds of Greek foods and the best part is when i was little when it came to crack eggs against each other. I used to put clear nail polish to make my egg harder so it wouldn't crack! So when the time came to crack the eggs i was always winning till one year my brother caught me putting the nail polish on my eggs… :) now my oldest son remembers what i told him to do last year and he keeps asking me when are we going to make easter eggs so i can make my egg harder and beat everyones egg..lol

Tina says:

04/08/2011 at 7:45 pm

Growing up I lived in Rhode Island and one Easter it snowed so we were having Easter egg hunts in snow that was almost as high as I was.

wendi_leigh says:

04/08/2011 at 7:46 pm

I love the Resurrection eggs. My son is highly allergic to eggs (among other things) and Easter is always a tough time for him, so this is a great idea to create a special tradition to enjoy with both kids and remember the reason for the celebration.

My favorite Easter memory: just like every year the family dressed up for church and went to Grandma's after to hunt Easter eggs. Only 3 weeks later we were trying to determine what that HORRIBLE smell was in our house. It took us amost a week to discover that it was an egg that had been forgotten in my brother's suit pocket. Yikes!

jessica says:

04/08/2011 at 7:46 pm

My dad used to hide our baskets every Easter. When we woke up before church we would search the house for them!

Holly says:

04/08/2011 at 7:46 pm

My favorite memory is when the “Easter Bunny” left a trail of jelly beans all through our house that led to my presents. I had so much fun following his trail finding them!

RebeccaFer says:

04/08/2011 at 7:48 pm

One of my favorite Easter memories was probably the last Easter where the Easter Bunny visited our house. Each of us kids (3 girls, 1 boy) got an Easter Basket filled with goodies. I was the youngest so it was especially gleeful to get up early and race around the house to find my basket. My siblings, however, were 5, 7 and 8 years older than myself so they were no longer enamored by the thrill of candy hidden throughout the house. I couldn't understand that so I decided to be joyful for them, espcially my oldestest sister Lisa. I gathered all my candy and toys then proceeded to put hers together. I then entered my sisters room, aka “The Cavern of Darkness” where the rooms were dark purple, the carpet was dark purple, the curtains were dark purple and the bedspread was … well, I'm sure you get the pictures. As I entered her room shut off from the Easter morning light, even that darkeness couldn't contain my excitement and I bopped in with a huge “Good Morning! I've got your Easter Basket!!!” I thought she would have at the very least smiled but she grumbled loudly and rolled over then waved her hand telling me to leave it over there. I couldn't just put it on the floor, what if something happened to it????!!?!! So I place it on her pillow, knowing she'd get it as soon as she woke up. Hours later, when teenagers finally stir, their was a loud bellowing of my name from the upstairs. I cringed because for 8 years, I knew that my name, said in that tone, meant something bad was coming. As my sister turned the corner, still calling for me with a very angry tone, I saw it … a marshmallow bunny smashed and melted all on the side of her head. It was like a bunny roadkill mashed into her hair and let me tell you, it was none too pretty for the bunny or my sister. Although I didn't laugh at that time (I was too busy running for Mom's protection) I, and we, still do now. It wasn't exactly the most cozy of Easter memories but it sure is a good one! Lol. :D

Istherecake2 says:

04/08/2011 at 7:48 pm

As a child, my favorite memory of Easter was going to the store with my mom and sister to pick out a new Easter dress, shoes and hat. Looking at all the fancy hats and getting to choose one was so much fun!

grandmak says:

04/08/2011 at 7:48 pm

I have never seen Resurrection eggs before … they're wonderful! I made “Resurrection rolls” with my granddaughter last year and plan to continue the tradition each Easter … what a wonderful way to teach our children and grandchildren of our Savior's Resurrection!

HeatherKenney says:

04/08/2011 at 7:49 pm

These eggs are awesome! We don't have them but my mom does and she enjoys going through the eggs with my kids. It has become their tradition. My favorite Easter memory was when I was about 5. After church, my family went to our church's Easter egg hunt. There was one GOLDEN egg out there amoungst about 100 others. I found it! Woo Hoo! There was no “extra” prize just the GOLDEN Egg! Ha! I would love to have the Resurrection Eggs to donate to my kid's Sunday School Program. Thanks for the giveaways and Happy Easter Jenny!

Donna says:

04/08/2011 at 7:49 pm

I have never heard of Resurrection Eggs, what a lovely idea. My favorite memories of Easter was when I was a little girl and my sisters and I all got new hats to wear to church.

Sharon says:

04/08/2011 at 7:51 pm

My favorite Easter memory is the Good Friday service at church where they passed out nails similar to what would have been driven through Jesus' hands and feet. I often think of that huge nail and the pain my sin caused and the price Christ paid to take away my sin.

keri says:

04/08/2011 at 7:51 pm

My parents would hide our Easter Baskets and we'd have to hunt for them…so fun!

Sandra says:

04/08/2011 at 7:52 pm

My daddy never mowed the grass on the weekend of Easter so it would be high enough to hide real eggs in. No plastic for us back in the day.

Darcy@Somewhatmuddledmusings says:

04/08/2011 at 7:53 pm

Those are awesome!! We've never purchased them, but I'd love to have a set. We lost my mom the day after Easter six years ago. Easter Day that year was the first time she'd laughed in a long time – we knew she felt weak, but she was in the best mood we'd seen her in for a very long time. I cherish that day…and am sad that we lost her the next day, but it did make our last day with her so bright!

Misslissa_c says:

04/08/2011 at 7:54 pm

I favorite memory of Easter was going to my Grandma's house after church for Easter dinner and then an Easter egg hunt with all my cousins.

cindy says:

04/08/2011 at 7:55 pm

My favorite memory was coloring eggs. My aunt would come over every year and we always made a black egg.

Jenna Stephenson Grubbs says:

04/08/2011 at 7:56 pm

Oooh, I've been wanting a set of these. My favorite memory actually happened last year – my daughter's birthday was on Easter day! (April 4th). We had a fantastic time celebrating her birthday and the resurrection of Christ with an Easter egg hunt the day before Easter. I look forward to the next time Easter is on her birthday, but I think we'll be continuing our now “tradition” of hunting eggs the night before Easter.

Ashley says:

04/08/2011 at 7:57 pm

When I was in college, I went home with my roommate one year for Easter break. Even though we were 20 something, her mom hid Easter eggs for us to find in her backyard. I loved getting to be a kid again!

Amanda says:

04/08/2011 at 7:58 pm

My favorite Easter memory is going to my grandmother's house and hunting eggs with my cousins. My grandmother always made a big meal for everyone and we would all visit for the day. When she died, our family slowly stopped getting together as much. Thankfully my mom is “resurrecting” that tradition and we try hard to get everyone together since family is so very important.

Tonya says:

04/08/2011 at 7:59 pm

Easter always makes me think of the play my church used to put on for our community. I still remember all the songs and it's been many years ago!

And of course I remember dying “real” Easter eggs for the egg hunt. There were no plastic eggs for us back then!

Sandy565 says:

04/08/2011 at 7:59 pm

My favorite Easter memory is last Easter…I had such good memories of my time with my grandfather that Easter. We didn't know it would be his last Easter but we made the most out of it!!

Heidi says:

04/08/2011 at 8:00 pm

I love the flower cross that our church makes every year on Easter morning from flowers out of members yards.

Janell says:

04/08/2011 at 8:01 pm

Painting and filling cascarones as a family. I remember my parents setting up Easter egg hunts and other games to play in our back yard. Then we'd get to open the eggs up for great treats and crack the cascarones.

Cheryl Williams says:

04/08/2011 at 8:01 pm

I loved dressing up in my new Easter dresses and going to church. When we got home, the Easter Bunny always left us Easter baskets.

As a child my family never celebrated the commercial part of Easter but one year my father bought us a pre-made Easter basket. So getting that basket was my favorite Easter memory!

I have had so many fond memories of Easter as a child. One of my favorites is waking up before dawn to see the Easter story told on a mound in Moundville, AL.

My favorite Easter memory is when I was a little girl getting to wear my “Best” Sunday dress on Easter with my matching hat & purse. I thought it was the best thing in the whole world :)

My favorite memory (it only happened once) was waking up for early morning service years ago (I was ten or so). I went on the back porch to practice my part for the Easter play. I remember the view that I saw like it was yesterday. The dew was on the grass and the sun was beginning to make its debut. The smell of dew on the grass and flowers blooming and the sounds of birds chirping just froze me in time. I did not quite understand what was happening, but it was a beautiful moment. Every now and then I would have that “familiar smell” moment which would bring me back to the moment. It made me appreciate the simple things in life such as sun rises and spring blooms. Jesus is amazing…

Angie Walker says:

04/08/2011 at 8:16 pm

My family is Hispanic and we'd save our eggshells (by cracking a whole at the top and dupping the egg out), and around easter we would color and stuff them with confetti. After the hunt we would chase each other around and crack the eggs on our friends heads. Lots of fun!!! These would be great to keep the reason for the season at the front of our minds, rather than the egg hunts. Thanks Jenny for this great website.

Getting the extended family together to have a huge meal that would end all of the Lenten fasting. Ham, chicken, kielbasa, deviled eggs, cake….. This year I'm 800 miles away from my side of the family, so I'm throwing the traditional Easter bash for my in-laws. They have no idea what to expect :)

My kids are 2 and 4 and I've never heard of these resurrections eggs, so I'm SUPER excited to find this and make this a new tradition for our family. I think this is a more difficult story/holiday for young children to comprehend, so i'm very excited for more than just a story/book. :) Def making one! Thanks!

Mrsmvincent says:

04/08/2011 at 8:21 pm

My first Easter with my son was amazing. It really changed my view and made me understand a little more what a gift we were given. To watch your son go through so much pain, knowing you can change what is happening, is amazing to me.

Easter – The best thing I can remember is being told and learning the true meaning of Easter, YES, Our Lord has RISEN and IS ALIVE! Amen! :)
I love teaching in our Sunday School and Wednesday Bible Study class for the little ones ages 3-7, they (and me) would LOVE to win this, what a nice lesson to go over and very appealing to the little ones with the colorful eggs! Great Idea! Thanks Jenny!

04/08/2011 at 8:26 pm

I'm not sure I have just one favorite memory from Easter. I enjoyed shopping for my Easter dress when I was a kid with my mom and grandmother (who we lost last year.) Now that I have kids I like how excited my own kids get when they dye Easter eggs and do the Easter egg hunt at my aunt's house. I have never heard of resurrection eggs before, but anything I can do to teach my kids in a memorable way about the sacrifice that was made for us I am all for. :)

Moyerdz says:

04/08/2011 at 8:26 pm

My sister and I would dress alike when we were younger. Our mom always made our Easter dresses and my dad always made sure that we had corsages to wear, because he always got my mom one to wear for Easter. Then it would be off to our grandparents to have Easter lunch after church and then have an Easter egg hunt with our cousins. What fond and wonderful memories!

Jennifer says:

04/08/2011 at 8:28 pm

My favorite memory is being a little girl and getting a new Easter dress to wear for Easter. And of course hunting for eggs.

Michelle says:

04/08/2011 at 8:30 pm

One of my most memorable Easters was when I was on my 8th grade trip to Washington D.C. and seeing the Easter Lilies displayed in the form of a cross on the Capitol steps.

CLA says:

04/08/2011 at 8:30 pm

I loved to get up early for the sunrise service. Then, we would all go to church for a huge breakfast. Then, we (children) would decorate a huge cross with flowers we had picked from our yards before Sunday School started. I wish our church did that…what great memories!

My favorite memory as a child was waking up on Easter morning and looking in the hallway for our Easter baskets.
My favorite memory as an adult, now that I understand Easter and the sacrifice made, is singing in my church choir and watching as people absorb the impact of the sacrifice for their salvation!

Terribrandt says:

04/08/2011 at 8:31 pm

Hunting eggs with my children in their Easter outfits at grandparents! Taking pictures of them sitting in the daffodils afterwards while opening each and every egg to see what was inside! I can still picture my daughters little white hat with elastic falling to her back and my son scarfing down the chocolate in every single egg he could open!

Jen says:

My favorite memory of easter is spending time with my great grandparents and listening to the awesome easter story!

Jennifer says:

I always love the special music during Easter service :-)

Kristen says:

One of my favorite Easter memories is my husband dressing up as the Easter bunny for a skit at church.

Molly says:

04/08/2011 at 8:33 pm

We just started a new tradition last year with our children (3 yrs, 1 yr) We make a crucifixion/resurrection mountain out of play dough. Little sticks serve as the crosses, and pipe cleaners can be made into disciples and Jesus. A little “cave” on the side of the mountain is the resurrection tomb. Another wonderful way to help make the resurrection story more “tangible” for little ones.

Lee says:

04/08/2011 at 8:33 pm

Easter has always been a very special time in my family. First of all because as believers in Jesus Christ, we rejoice in this day to celebrate the completion of His earthly ministry. My mother was the quintessential Southern hostess and her Easter table was a thing of beauty. As girls, my sister and I would spend hours in our large rural yard picking the softest, deepest, most velvety violets by the handfuls to fill the little vases Mother had all over the house for Easter Sunday. The centerpiece on the dining table was of hobnail milkglass with 4 or 5 individual vase cones to make up the whole. Overflowing with deep purple violets surrounded by rich green leaves, it filled the room with a delicate fragrance. Freshly starched pure white linen cloth and napkins, shining polished sterling silver, cobalt blue and gold fine china brought back from WWII Germany graced each place setting which was always completed with a tiny individual wicker basket filled with Easter candies. Everyone in the family gathered after the Easter worship services around the huge old family mahogany table. Our meal was traditional in our family, a set menu of garlic leg of lamb, mint jelly, rice and gravy, copper penny carrots, marinated asparagus, beaten biscuits, iced tea, and freshly baked homemade strawberry shortcake. Although we are Christians, for many years, we also included the celebration of the Passover meal around the Easter table, loving the beauty of the completed symbolism of each element of the Passover fulfilled in Jesus' sacrifice. Mother is gone now but I love to recreate as much as I can the rich vignette she made throughout the house and yard; a wonderful mixture of fantasy and truth, of fun and beauty, colorful plastic eggs, an abundance of fresh flower bouquets, gleeful little lambs, shy bunnies and chicks. It was and is a celebration never to be forgotten.

Peggy says:

04/08/2011 at 8:34 pm

I just love Easter. Never heard of the Resurrection Eggs but would love to have it. Although my daughter is all grown up, the memories of past Easter's, hunting for hidden eggs and a special basket was always a joy. I hope one day I have a grandchild and can join in the fun of Easter.

Edljoy says:

04/08/2011 at 8:34 pm

I remember going to myrtle beach with my parents and being so distraught that the easter bunny might not find me there. Alas, the easter bunny did find me and all was well. I enjoyed following the cotton ball trail all around the house to find my easter basket.

Pam says:

04/08/2011 at 8:36 pm

My favorite memory from when I was little was getting sunglasses in my easter basket every year. Now I have two boys when they were little Iwould hide eggs for them they still like to do that but now I use plastic eggs because they weren't to good at finding the eggs. Boy do they ever smell bad as the heat starts to get very hot.

Jakmsims says:

04/08/2011 at 8:36 pm

Keep meaning to buy one for more 2 yr old…heard awesome things about hte resurrection eggs kits. favorite memory is always the egg hunts—-and finding the $20 bill as a kid!

Laurie B. says:

My favorite Easter memory is all the Easter Egg hunts we had in the backyard growing up – it was always so much fun!!

over-used! says:

I am so excited that these eggs are still around! I bought a set around 15 years ago and every year we would spend weeks hiding and finding and telling the resurrection story over and over. I got to the point where they knew the story inside out and hunted for certain egg colors because of what was inside. My son and his friends always searched for the one with the spear (it is a boy thing). My daughter liked the dice. Eventually it became tattered and a few eggs had to be replaced from opening and closing them so much. The spear was replaced with a lego spear and so on. They are in their 20's now but last year I pulled them out again and had my great nephew and great neices go through the story. I see that there is directions to make your own. I will most likely make some to pass on to my two children for their kids and repair the overused one I have.

Taylor7123 says:

My favourite memory is of the first Easter service I attended after accepting Jesus Christ as my savior, only one month before at the age of 34. My eyes and ears were open unlike ever before, and I wept as we relieved His resurrection.

Taylor7123 says:

04/08/2011 at 8:38 pm

Oops! “relived” his resurrection :-)

Margaretinsc says:

My favorite Easter was when I was 9 and it snowed on Easter! I grew up in New York and we had relatives visit from all over. My relatives from the South got to experience the great white stuff. We had a HUGE Easter Egg Hunt that included notes and money in the plastic eggs and bunnies!

Jennifer Nance Ryan says:

04/08/2011 at 8:38 pm

I loved Easter Egg hunting. My favorite memory is my brother and I looking for the last egg and my parents kept telling us we were “hot” right beside my grandfather. He had it hidden under his hat. :) Miss him! Thanks for all the things you do for us Jenny!

Allyg24 says:

04/08/2011 at 8:39 pm

I remember as a kid we would always attend my grandmother's church & every year we would do just this but we would have to find the eggs around the study room. Great memory. I had forgotten about this but would love to do this with my little girl.

Easter 2010 is by far my favorite Easter! Backstory: On Easter morning 2008, I miscarried. I was already a mother to a beautiful 2 yr. old boy, and so the miscarriage was unexpected and heartbreaking. I became pregnant shortly after the miscarriage and had my 2nd son in January 2009. 2009 Easter was tainted with the loss from the year before, and in my heart, I felt like every Easter would forever always be semi-sad. However, God showed me the true meaning of resurrection in 2010, when on Easter morning I learned that I was pregnant again! This pregnancy was completely unexpected, and I was already 9 weeks along! In Novemeber 2010, I gave birth to a little girl. We named her Zoe, which means “life” because God gave us “life”, not only in the form of our daughter, but also in a new reason to celebrate Easter's from now on!

Nikki says:

04/08/2011 at 8:50 pm

Easter sunday would bring many of my family members together & we would all attend the same church for that sunday & then have dinner together

Alysa says:

04/08/2011 at 8:50 pm

As a child, we traveled with family Easter week and on Easter Suday we were always away from home. Nevertheless, we always attended some strange church. Although it made us kids uncomfortable, we learned the importance of attending church, no matter where you are.

TAA says:

My favorite Easter was when I was about 8yo and my Mom and sisters and I made a special breakfast for my dad…rabbit shaped biscuits, etc. It was such a fun thing!

kathy says:

Visiting grandparents and of course the candy.

Mellie44 says:

I love hunting Easter eggs. A few years ago my brother brought home some Resurrection Eggs and since then we go through those as well, my brother moves to the west coast this year so we won;t have that set of eggs this year.

Christy says:

My favorite memory of Easter is from a few years ago. After our second miscarriage, we found out on Good Friday that we were pregnant. We spent the weekend visiting my Dad and it actually snowed in Texas while we were there. We were able to share with my parents that we were pregnant with our daughter and our son had a blessed family weekend experiencing snow! We got to share the story of the resurrection with him as an entire family. It was so much fun!!!

Jessica Stubbs says:

I used to go through the Easter story with preschoolers at church with my carton of Resurrection Eggs. I left them for the church to use. I hope my name gets drawn for a free carton for my kids. It would make a great tradition for my family. Thanks for offering this Christ-centered freebee.

3eddy says:

I got engaged on an Easter Sunday before church. My husband came to pick me up to go to church and he gave me a stuffed bunny holding carrots. He had tied the ring to the carrots and said he had some “carats” to give me!

Kathy says:

04/08/2011 at 8:54 pm

My first Easter egg hunt with my daughter. She picked up one egg and one duck (they had small toys around for the younger ones), and she was thrilled.

Sjgroome says:

04/08/2011 at 8:54 pm

My husband & I finalized the adoption of our two daughters (ages 5 & 8) last summer. This will only be our second Easter together, but I plan on making the Ressurection Eggs a part of our tradition.My favorite memories are the ones I'm looking forward to, like when they can tell me the true Easter story in their own words!

Lchubert says:

04/08/2011 at 8:55 pm

My favorite memory was going camping and having the Easter bunny visit us in our Airstream! My mom, little brother and I decorated eggs in the camp the old fashion way and then we closed all the curtains in the camper and giggled while Mama and Daddy hide the eggs around the camper. It was a TON of fun and great memories with my family.

Angiedupree says:

04/08/2011 at 8:55 pm

We spend every Easter in Pine Mountain, GA with family and attend the sunrise service overlooking the lake. It is the most beautiful setting to reflect on the meaning of Easter and a new life in Christ. One year, before we had children, my husband and I rode our bikes in almost complete darkness to the sunrise service. It turned out to be a fairly long ride through Callaway Gardens and quite cold! We made it just in time, and it was such an exhilarating morning. I'll never forget it. Now we have 2 beautiful boys to make new memories with.

michelle says:

04/08/2011 at 8:55 pm

Easter service, then dinner, and then an egg hunt with the whole family. Although when I was younger, I would have said the Easter basket and candy… :)

Mommybrain_34 says:

04/08/2011 at 8:57 pm

My best Easter memory occured after a really bad Good Friday. My dad had been working on a roof when he slipped and when he grabbed the chimmeny it gave way and the bricks knocked him out. He fell off the roof and was out for two days. We went to the hospital to visit him on Easter morning and he had woke up! It was like he had come back to life! Made Easter that much more special.

kristina says:

04/08/2011 at 8:57 pm

Enjoying dinner around the table with my entire family. I miss being able to do that now that I live across the country from my family.

Aragrie says:

easters were always so much fun growing up because we would have a large family gethering with lots of deviled eggs and family sing alongs. I would go to sunrise service just me and my mom while everyone else slept and then we would go to a nearby national park and have a picnic!

Mary-Margaret says:

My favorite memory is of the Easter Vigil service that we would attend at church the night before Easter.

Ogleteacher ashley says:

I have many favorite memories but one would be singing “He Arose” at sunrise service and listening to my mom try to get the high notes out!

Anita says:

A new tradition we started with our extended family get-together-a “peep fling contest”. See how far you can fling a peep with a kitchen utensil of your choosing. Winner gets a homemade crown and the privilege of crowning the next year's winner.

Sharon says:

04/08/2011 at 9:02 pm

I always loved dying the Easter eggs. My mom would boil eggs and we would sit at the kithchen table and color our eggs together as a family. I also remember getting a new dress to wear to church. My own children also loved to dye eggs and now that one is married and one in college, I will miss that this year. Can't wait for the GRANDS!

mary says:

04/08/2011 at 9:03 pm

We always fast for the 40 days leading to easter. I often teach preschool students the meaning of Easter using the church's resurrection eggs. It is a great tool! Our family has Easter traditions including special breads and taking part in the dramas. Our most favorite memory is coming home after Easter service several years ago, and we found newborn bunnies in a hole at our front lawn. Mama and her babies were beautiful and, although not part of the celebration of Passover and the resurrection, precious for our toddlers and family.

Kb says:

04/08/2011 at 9:03 pm

I remember how my mom would sew me and my sister's Easter dresses to match hers! It was so much fun to go to church Sunday morning all matching!

04/08/2011 at 9:03 pm

My favorite memory of Easter is when my son was born.

Ellie says:

04/08/2011 at 9:04 pm

my favorite memory of Easter is the year my mom botched the Easter Lamb cake. She has a wilton cake mold to make a 3D Easter Lamb and she took great pride in decorating it, but one year she decided to put a red icing bow around it's neck. Unfortunately the icing was a bit runny and when she brought it to the table it looked like blood was dripping from the lambs cut neck! She tried to make it work by explaining that it was like a sacrificial lamb, a picture of Jesus the perfect lamb of God. It didn't work to well with the little ones, they were all a bit scared of the bloody lamb cake! :) We would tease her each year when she would bring out the cake and ask her “where is the red bow?”. Since then she has passed the cake mold down to me and I've had the priviledge of making it the last two years and she has enjoyed being on the giving end of the teasing. :)

Lilliebelle says:

Mine is that my daughter was born on Easter morning April 11, l982! She was 11 days early and what a blessing. The best one ever.

Dressing up for Easter including a hat & attending church, then having a family dinner of ham, potatoes & green bean cassarole.

Morganterichmeier says:

04/08/2011 at 9:11 pm

My favorite Easter memory is the wonder box during lent in our church. Each Sunday of lent it was a mystery throughout the Sunday school lesson as to what was in it. It was always something simple but it made us all focus on the lesson to get to the wonder box. This new resurrection egg set will be a great new tradition!

Tammyla says:

My first Easter with my husband was before he was my husband and we had our two older children with us and we were camping and we had an Easter egg hunt that he prefaced with the true meaning of Easter–made him much more appealing

Watching my Mother sew three Easter dresses…. and the joy it gave my sisters and I to wear them.

Tylersgrandma3 says:

My favorite memories of Easter was made by my beloved PaPa. It was family tradition that after church on Easter, all 4 of PaPa & Grandmother's children & their families would gather at the old homeplace for the traditional Easter meal: 4 boiled hens w/dressing, gravy, green beans, biscuits and sweet potato pies for dessert. When I was 8, my PaPa gave all us grandkids little chicks colored pink, blue, green and yellow! They looked like little Easter eggs running around, peeping & were fun to care for (most of us lived on farms) but as it turned out all were roosters who grew mean as they grew up…and eventually, they ALL ended up in somebody's stew pot! The very next Easter, PaPa tried upmanship on the previous year and gave us all baby white rabbits with pink noses & ears! Of course, all of us kids fell in love immediately w/them and couldn't figure out why our parents' faces drained of color when they saw what PaPa had given us!LOL! I believe my aunt told PaPa (her dad) later that there would be NO Easter dinner the next year if he bought so much as painted turtles for us!!

Easter egg dying with my parents was always my fav!

Vtthomas says:

My favorite memory of Easter is dyeing Easter eggs each year, doing an egg hunt the next day, and taking pictures with my Easter basket. It was always a good year if I could find a pack of Skittles in my basket! Now that I am older and have two children of my own I make them baskets just for fun and to be creative!

My favorite Easter was when I was old enough to know the real meaning of Easter and why we celebrate it. This would be a wonderful tool to teach my grandaugher that real meaning
at an early age.

I think my favorite easter memory is the year my oldest daughter who is now 5 had her first easter that she was able to color easter eggs and hunt them with my brother. To be able to see them have fun doing what my siblings and I did as kids :)

Emily says:

My favorite memory is the year I wrote a letter to the Easter Bunny (not realizing that Easter was not like Christmas where you make lists and such) asking for a bunny rabbit of my own… and I actually got one! What a great Easter Bunny. :)

Cdayo4 says:

04/08/2011 at 9:27 pm

The Easter as a 3 year old I saw a REAL bunny out in the backyard and thought it was the Easter bunny- went on a chase through the woods ruining my Sunday socks….sorry Mom! But it was fascinating from my 3 year old perspective!

My Best Easter yet was 2 years ago. It was my sons first Easter and my Husband had been without a job for 3 months ( he was laid off the day after our son was born) and we spent the day with our family at the park. After lunch he got in the car and left for training at his new job. Not only did we celebrate because HE IS ALIVE!!!! but also because of the proof of that in our lives not only with our sons birth but HIM providing for our family!

One of my favorite memories was at a family picnic at our beach front state park. My siblings and I are very close in age. The year my older sister became a teenager she was too cool to hang out with the little kids. My brother and I still pester her but that particular day we were on a mission. She yelled at us and got my parent's to reprimand us for annoying her. I would say not even five minutes later a bird pooped in her Shirley Temple curls. I will never forget her facial expression and we still laugh when we reminisce about that day.

Lauren Beck says:

04/08/2011 at 9:35 pm

My favourite moment about easter actually has to do with the whole weekend of Good Friday – Easter (last year). It was about six years after I decided to follow Christ. My church did a tenebrae service (that I got to play in) which focuses on Jesus's last few days. It really helped make Easter a celebration of His resurrection.

Hosting neighborhood Easter egg hunts every year. I loved having everyone at my house!

joyce says:

I remember all 7 of us sisters dressing up in our beautiful dress, white gloves, white chain purse and bonnets with a long ribbon flowing down the back.And our only brother. We took pictures before church at grams all 8 of us sitting on her front porch steps. with our baskets.
After church was the grand Easter egg hunt..Then Dinner and at last we could dive into our baskets! What memories.
With my only child we lived on a dirt road and my husband would go out barefoot Easter Eve or early that next morning and leave big rabbit prints in the sandy road. so when she woke she could go out and see the great rabbit was at her house.
We also had a hayride and myhusband dressed as a rabbit all in white.With a big bushy cotton tail. He had a basket and would hand out candy to kids we passed by as well as the ones on the ride. What fun singing here comes peter cotton tail!

My favorite easter memory is how mother always had to buy us a new outfit for church and i always had my white gloves. it was so fun.

Bunnyfabulous says:

04/08/2011 at 9:39 pm

One year my mom made my sister and I dresses and purses so that we matched –all except for the color. Mine was pink and my sister's was blue. Then we got little stuffed animal bunnies in our Easter baskets that went with our dresses. I didn't understand the meaning of Easter until much later, but that was my favorite childhood memory. Hope my daughter's memories will have alot more to do with Christ.

04/08/2011 at 9:40 pm

One of my favorite memories of Easter was when I was a very young girl, maybe 7 or 8 years old. My grandparents were going to buy me a new dress for Easter. When they took me shopping, Grandpa liked one dress and Grandma liked another one … they ended up buying both of them for me. How cool is that!

Jenn says:

04/08/2011 at 9:40 pm

we began the resurrection egg tradition last year with our two girls, by making our own, and it was great fun!!! It quickly became my favorite tradition. My favorite memory is when we found the last, empty egg. My 3 year old was so excited to find it and exclaimed (as excitedly as she would if it had some yummy candy in it) “It's empty!!! Just like Jesus' grave!!”
Definitely a cherishable moment!

Amie says:

04/08/2011 at 9:41 pm

Sabrina says:

04/08/2011 at 9:45 pm

I loved going to church in my new Easter outfit, usually matching my sister's. Then after church there would be a big church-wide picnic and easter egg hunt. I miss that small church atmosphere, the one we go to now is quite big.

Jennifer G. says:

04/08/2011 at 9:45 pm

My favorite Easter memories are the ones where my Dad's brother, wife and sons were in town during the holiday. Each year we traded which house would host, and we always had a festive meal around a beautiful table. This was, of course, after my Mom and I would start by attending Sunrise Service in the Park, Early Service at church, and coming home to prepare the feast!

Jess says:

My favorite memory was always getting to pick out a pretty Easter dress. I hope to have a little girl someday so that I can pick out pretty Easter dresses with her….

Pam says:

04/08/2011 at 9:51 pm

My favorite Easter memory is when my 3 year old brother (he's 43 now, I'm 48) entered a jelly bean guessing contest at the local candy store and won!
My family was sitting around the table the Saturday before Easter (well, I guess it was the Saturday b/f the Saturday b/f Easter…), the phone rang, my dad answered, and the lady asked if John were there. He said yes. The candy store lady said Congratulations, John has won the jelly bean drawing…he had the entry with the number closest to the actual number of jelly beans in the jar. My dad thought the call was from a friend pulling his leg; but when she said we could come any time to pick up the SOLID CHOCOLATE EASTER EGG filled w/Easter goodies, he finally realize it wasn't a joke.
So we made a big deal of all going to the candy store (The Yum Yum Tree in N. Ridgeville, OH) to pick up his prize. My mom froze a lot of the chocolate, and we had Easter candy for nearly a year!!
A wonderful memory…..

I remember we used to all go to my grandmother's and all the cousin's would have a big egg hunt. We used to race around to see who could get the most because my grandmother would hide quarters in them. After we would finish we would peel all the boiled eggs and have an egg fight.

I have a really large family and we all love music. My favortie time is (without sounding cheezy) any time we are together. Easter is one of the few times that everyone is actually there. Growing up we would sit around my Grannys kitchen table listening to all my aunts and uncles singing and playing guitars and now we are all grown with kids doing it with them and I LOVE every moment of it. We have out grown Grannys kitchen table but just being with one another tears me up, especially since I am the only one who lives out of town.

One Easter Sunday I made it to the sunrise service with my parents and my husband. It was very memorable & awe-inspiring as the sun rose to hear about God's Son rising. Since we have had our children though that service is hard to make. Maybe soon when our children are older we can make it back to a sunrise service.

When I was a child I left my Easter basket out while we went to church. My older, and smarter, sister put hers up somewhere. When we got home from church my Easter candy was gone – the dog ate it all. My sister shared half of her candy with me. It was so remarkable kind and generous – I never forgot. I also never left my basket down where the dog could get it again…

Sunrise Service in 1998- I was diagnosed with breast cancer in late 1997- went through surgery and chemo, and 6 mos. of being bald. I had a resurrection and renewal of my own- I decided that I had worn that “confounded” wig for the last time. I went to sunrise servie that morning “wigless”, with about 1 1/2″ long hair on my head. It was such a blessing to me to know that I no longer had to depend on that

I remember how every Easter it always seemed to be the most beautiful day. It always seemed so fitting that such a special day should have such beautiful weather. Waking up to the sun shining in through my windows felt so wonderful. I always thought the Lord gave us that great weather because He wanted His day to be perfect!

Hsgeary969 says:

04/08/2011 at 11:29 pm

My favorite Easter memory was one year my grandparents came for Easter and they brought a Ukranian Egg making kit. It involved wax and food coloring and quality family time. They were the most beautiful easter eggs I've ever made. I was probably around 12-13 years old. When my daughter gets a little older I'd like to try it with her. Would love the Resurrection eggs!

terryo says:

One year I asked my mom if I could have a gian Easter basket like the one at a local store that they were giving away as sweepstakes prize. Although she didn't have a lot of money, my Mom was very inventive. She took an apple bushel basket (pretty big), filled it mostly with crumpled up newspaper with a little fake grass on top and then laid my candy and other goodies on top. I thought it was the best basket, ever!

Bsmith says:

My mom used to leave us clues to find our Easter eggs. They were clever clues written in rhyme. No wonder I loved Mystery books so much as a child! I have been wanting to make a set of resurrection eggs for two years now. I hope I win so I won't have to make them!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays, reflection on our saviors resurrection, watching the sunrise with my dad, eating my mom's dough bunnies and sweet bread in the shape of easter eggs and basket, or teaching my kids the true meaning of easter using a recipe that bakes overnight and rises in the morning…. to many to pick one.

I love Easter–it's my favorite holiday because of what it means to our Christian faith. One of my many favorite memories is the year one of my daughters was new born. She wore a dress I wore as an infant to Easter Sunday service. Actually, all 3 of my daughters have worn that dress on their 1st Easters in the world but my oldest was the first and it was also her first church service ever (outside the womb, lol).

My favorite Easter memories by far are when my PawPaw what alive and the whole family would go to my grandparents house for Easter. We would have a BIG lunch together and have a BIG egg hunt. The adults would hide the egss while we stayed inside and waited. There was always a prize egg with money, too!
