This week I observed a "sign of spring” when family had our annual Easter celebration. Every year my family and I celebrate Easter by painting eggs, baking an Easter cake, eating a fancy dinner, and best of all have an Easter egg hunt! Every Easter morning my sisters and I run out side and try to get as much eggs as possible. This year we got lots of candy including peeps, sees candy boxes which comes with two chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and assorted chocolates, chocolate carrots, Lindtt chocolate, bubble gum, jelly beans Reeses peanut butter cups, pixie sticks, crunch candy bars, and my favorite caramel chocolate eggs!!! After the Easter egg hunt, we always bake an eater cake with pink frosting, lots of sprinkles, and vanilla cake. This year’s cake turned out the best because last year’s cake fell off the table, and year before that, mysisters put on way too much frosting.

The greatest part of Easter for me is painting the Easter eggs. We have been painting eggs every since I was 5 years old. I love painting eggs because we put on Easter music, and my moms is in the kitchen making dinner. My sisters always make about 24 eggs each. This year we made 83 eggs and only dropped 4 of them, which is a huge improvement from last year. As soon as we finish cleaning up the egg painting we go and set up the dinner table with fancy plates and napkins, pretty flowers, and lilac smelling candles. This year my mom and dad made mashed potatoes, string beans, rib roast, salad, cauliflower, coleslaw, and deviled eggs. Yum!
