Easter Planning

So we are busy planning our first Easter together. We want to make Easter a really special holiday for our family. Christmas always comes with so much anticipation--but shouldn't Easter be just as exciting? It's springtime, school is finished, and we can celebrate our Savior's resurrection. What a wonderful holiday. Since we can't leave out the egg hunt, I've bought some bright plastic eggs and filled them with mini Cadbury eggs. What else?

We are also really excited to plan our Easter menu. Since this is our first major holiday together (aside from Christmas, which we spent with our families), it has been really fun to decide what we want to cook together. Here's what we've decided on so far:

--Ham with an Apricot Glaze

--Potato Latkes

--Flatbread (unleavened bread)

--Asparagus

--Hot Cross Buns

I'm especially excited for the hot cross buns. This recipe has all sorts of yummy spices! It will be our first time using the dough cycle on our bread machine--we'll let you know how it works out! What are some other recipes and traditions that your family loves on Easter?
