Description of Easter celebration or activity:
Every year we have our family picture taken on the "Easter Rock" which is a big rock that sits out in my grandmother's front yard. Everybody in the family (all of our families combined), my mother's family and her two sisters' families (all of the parents and children) line up and get ready for their family portrait on the "Easter Rock." This has been a tradition for 50 years and was started when my mother and her two sisters were little girls. We have carried it on as tradition throughout the years.
You can start an "Easter Photo Album" to carry into generation after generation and look back on how you have changed and the kids have grown over the years. Easter just wouldn't be the same if we didn't have our pictures taken every year by the "Easter Rock" and it would definitely break tradition.
We, of course, hide Easter eggs for the kids afterwards on my grandma's property (which is huge). This is also a tradition that has been going on for years at my grandma's house and she is now 87 years old.
Have fun this Easter!

Standing by the rock for the picture.
Other suggestions or comments:
It makes for a great conversation piece over the years if you make a photo album from all of the pictures.
