Sunday, April 8th is Easter in the States. This year we're celebrating one week before those who follow the Orthodox calendar.

The Easters of my childhood included:
<ol>
	<li>Pastel colors: light pink, robin's egg blue, mint green, pale yellow.</li>
	<li>Dying Easter eggs with <a href="http://www.paaseastereggs.com/products.asp" target="_blank">Paas dye</a>.</li>
	<li>The Easter Bunny and hunting for eggs hidden by said bunny.</li>
	<li>My Easter basket usually filled with books and a chocolate bunny.</li>
	<li>Church on Sunday morning.</li>
	<li>A pretty new dress for church with plenty of ruffles and usually a bow.</li>
	<li>Easter dinner with ham.</li>
	<li>Family including grandmas, aunts and uncles.</li>
	<li>Daffodils and tulips.</li>
	<li>Lamb cake. Yes, a yellow cake made in a mold shaped like a lamb and covered with white frosting and shredded coconut.</li>
