So mine isn't from childhood but last year - we finally got tickets to the White House Easter Egg roll and I think I was more excited than the kids - It was awesome and President Obama read during our time slot - that was cool! DS wasn't impressed though - he said he just looked like a regular guy

@PixieStix: they did great - it was crowded but not horribly so

We had Easter egg hunts every year as kids and my parents would just hide the eggs around our house. My brother would get up super early and just walk around finding all the eggs so that as soon as we started the hunt, he'd already know where they all were. That wasn't fun for me at the time, but we laugh about it now.

When we were old enough to know there was no Easter bunny, my parents continued the tradition of the egg hunt simply because it was so fun. My dad was a little too good at hiding the eggs, and we had many years where we'd find a random egg somewhere in the house in July.

Mine was the year my parents hit eggs around the house and inside each each was a piece of a treasure map! Then we had to figure out how to put the map together (like a puzzle). The map eventually led to where they were hiding our brand new bicycles! It was so cool!!

Not a favorite, but I have distinct recollection of getting earrings for Easter one year (I was probably 3rd grade) and I passed out putting them in. I really have no recollection of what caused me to pass out, but I did.

My favorite, is that we had "baskets" that were homemade/custom. They were used annually. I still have mine and my Mom found someone to make them for my kids. I had to paint them and decorate them, but they were wood worked to match mine.
