what do you do for easter ritual?

what is your ritual on easter? i will get up with my 3 yr old son and 11 yr old daughter and we will go outside and they will hunt for the eggs scattered in the yard(they have candy, money and such in them) then my 11 yr old daughter will have to find her easter basket hidden in the house(son is too young for this, he will have his easter basket right on the stove)in the easter basket for my daughter will be 2 webkinz , choc bunny, etc and for my son he will have diego bubbles, thomas the train easter gift set of trains, candy, choc bunny in his basket
--------------------
I leave little piles of "bunny poo" to prove the Easter Bunny was there. Along with the typical portions of whole carrots with the leafy green tops with bites taken from them by the front door and in the yard. The "bunny poo" is further proof and it is said the finder is lucky. We make it out of baby carrots and raisins. I don't know how it came about and we have been doing it as long as I can remember. My 15 year old still looks for it. At Christmas we leave Santa wine and cheese instead of milk and cookies and we hang York Peppermint Patties from hooks on the tree. The York's come from when my hubby and I were first married we were so broke we had one bulb ornament and a string of lights. To decorate that first tree I used the candies. And we have made a point to do it again every year, 18 of them, no matter how our fortunes have changed.
