My family was/is Christian, but we never did/do anything special. We used to organize/participate in Church activities, but not anymore.
I have never participated in an Easter egg hunt, I have never had chocolate bunny, and I have never had Peeps/Cadbury creme/Crunch/Reese's eggs. So it will have to be Other by default.

Saturday we color eggs. It used to be all the kids, now only my sister and me stick to the tradition of painting one egg for every member of the family, finding a design that has something to do with the person it's for. Most of the eggs are just colored with one color, nothing fancy. The first thing Sunday morning is church. After that, we'll have breakfast with rolls my Mom bakes that look like bunnies. It's basically the only time of the year when Mom bakes rolls, so it's really special. Until last year, we went easter egg hunting after breakfast )Dad has to go out to hide the eggs first, though.) As my younger brother is 21 by now, and is the youngest, I don't think we'll do it this year, though. Dad, when hiding the eggs, has to make sure to count how many are there of each type, so that we know when we have found them all. Then everything is split up between family members. Usually, in the afternoon we sit around reading the books we received for Easter and munching on chocolate eggs, swapping the ones we don't like that much with others. My favorite Easter eggs are chocolate ones from Lindt (http://www.lindt.de/)
They don't last very long in my family, so stopping to take a picture would severely ruin my chances to get my share... ;-)
It's simple, actually. One more or less round piece of dough is the body, on one end you put a smaller it of dough for the tail and a longer, round piece is folded in half and attached to the other end as ears. They used to have raisin eyes, but most of my family don't like them, so now our easter bunnies are blind.
