Well, I'm going to decorate Easter eggs on Friday, and write the clues for our family hunt. This little hunt has been going on for a long time. I write clues for my sister and put them inside plastic eggs, which I then hide. She has to follow the clues to find each egg, and the clue in the last egg leads her to her Easter basket. She does the same for me. Later on Friday, of course, I'll be going with my family to the Good Friday service at church. That's always a very moving experience... very very important.

Saturday I'll go walk out to the creek and get some flowered branches for our Easter tree (a primarily European tradition, although I have seen more and more of them done here in America). Then I'll go to my church and help with the annual community Easter egg hunt. (My sister gets to wear the fluffy bunny costume this year. Heehee.)

Sunday morning - celebration service! My favorite church service of the whole year, barring the Christmas Eve Candlelight service. It's fun, and the church is always packed because of the Christmas/Easter folk. Then in the afternoon, we have the family egg hunt, turn some of the Easter eggs into egg salad sandwiches, and relax.
