Easter

Easter, to me, is a very important religious holiday. I am Catholic, so every year we go to the Easter vigil at our church. Ever since I was little we kept the same tradition, having brunch at our house with our family after church. Every year, no matter how old we get, my mom makes us Easter baskets filled with candy. Unfortunately, this year my whole family couldn't be together for Easter. My mom and I had to go to New Orleans because I had a volleyball tournament. That meant that we would have to leave my dad and two sisters at home to celebrate on their own. Once my mom and I got back from New Orleans, My dad and older sister took off for Paris for her volleyball tournament.
