I vaguely remember spending a month or so before Easter shopping at the usual shoe shops (Bakers, Sears, Kinneys, Ginsbergs?) for new shows. Patent leather MaryJanes in spring colors. That was a big deal! Fancy stuff to wear to Sunday school and the Easter breakfast they held at the Masonic Temple on Army Post Road.
Anyone else remember hunting for eggs around the house - usually the big colorful cream ones with mazipane coating and jelly beans? Stuff we'd find in July melted on a radiator behind the curtain.
Dicky liked the white chocolate bunnies. Someone would ALWAYS eat the ears off of my chocolate bunny. And both Jeanne and I loved the Peeps. Still do to this day. Yikes! There were baskets in the attic for years that got reused over and over again - green 'grass' still in each. I always found melted jelly beans in them from the year before. The people who bought the house after us probably found melted candy years after we'd all grown and left....

Fuuny, I recall getting all "gussied" up for Easter almost every year. What I really remember is that Ron was our escort to church every year. Do not ever recall Mom or Dad going to church, but Ron would take all us little guys and sit with us and keep us entertained such that we did not fuss. I can see him walking us up to Ft DM Methodist, sitting with us in the pew, having Kim color something, keeping Dick from screwing up and then walking us home. He was what..14 yrs old.
