How do you celebrate?

Looking for new ideas on how to celebrate Easter. We have often done the same things and I am always looking for some new ideas, either on food or something special you do with your family.

We often try to go to the early service for church (haven't done a sunrise service since kids) and then I make brunch for our meal. Usually ham, fruit salad, cinnamon rolls, egg strata, juice and coffee. The kids get a little Easter basket before church, and we do an egg hunt in the afternoon. I have always filled the plastic eggs with non-traditional goodies. Instead of candy and chocolates I use crackers, animal cookies, nuts, dry cereal, money, stickers and trinkets. That way the kids can eat as many as they want. I have also veered away from fluffy fancy dresses. We do get something new, but I make it something they are likely to wear a lot.

So...do share your creative ideas for food and fun.
