The tradition in my family is to buy all of the children new Easter clothes which they then wear until the Fall or later. My girls are going to church today in pretty new matching springtime dresses, my sons have new dress pants, shirts, and ties. I would have bought the wife a new dress, but the local stores had NOTHING.

My children wore nice clothes for Easter. My son (almost 14) wore a sports jacket, dress shirt with tie and nicely pressed kahki slacks. My daughters (12 and 7)have pretty spring dresses with hair bows, purses and hats. I wore a coral colored suit. My husband wore a nice dark suit. He looked very handsome. When I was growing up,we always had new clothes at Easter, and I continue the tradition. This connects the generations. I told my kids stories about Easter celebrations when I was a child. They roll their eys and laugh, but wait someday they will repeat these stories and tell new ones about their childhood. We are having dinner at my sister-in-law's house. This is the first time we have been able to be together in a few years at Easter as we moved away from family because of a job transfer. Happily, they moved down here last summer- what a blessing
