M1. Easter Traditions

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. As being a part Irish family my family doesn’t celebrate it. But we do usually have corn beef and sauerkraut except me. I think it’s just absolutely nasty! Since we don’t really celebrate St. Patrick’s Day I will talk about another holiday or family tradition. My family does celebrate Easter the holiday right after St. Patrick’s Day. We are usually either in Ohio with my mom’s side of the family or we stay up here with my dad’s side of the family. When we do stay up here in New York my father usually cooks dinner for the family. I actually prefer to go to Ohio because I find it more fun celebrating Easter there than at home. We usually go to my grandparents’ house in Ohio because all my cousins and aunts and uncles come and my grandma always sets up an Easter Egg Hunt for all the kids. I feel like I’m too old to do it usually just help my little cousin McKenzie. I feel like she is my other half even though she’s like 5 years old. I only get to see her once a year, so whenever I go down to Ohio I try to spend as much time with her as possible. We do talk on the phone sometimes when my mom calls her sister. Also my grandma tends to cook a really big Easter dinner for the family. She LOVES to cook! Her meals are absolutely delicious. We don’t really do much on Easter; usually we just hang around and cherish the moments we have together. Also my grandma is very festive so she also gives all her grandkids a little goody bag with candy in it. I actually prefer to go to Ohio everywhere but sometimes my mom isn’t able to get off for vacation.
