Not sure if I was clear--the clue-thing is from my
husband's mother, not the kids' mother. We have no idea what she does every year (and if we did he'd surely want to avoid it simply for that reason alone anyway.) I know they wouldn't hate the brunch, I just wouldn't want them to be sad if they didn't have some sort of typical egg-hunt.
I was all prepared to say that the "years to come" would be a moot point since it's rare for us to have them on Easter, but I looked up just how the date of Easter is determined and it turns out the last three years have been a bit of a fluke, and we will actually have them more often than not in the years to come. Huh. That sort of motivates me more to do something special with it, if I'll be setting up a tradition my stepkids will enjoy rather than just putting in a placeholder for this year.
