Easter 2016
Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I love the pastel colors and the flowers. Some of my favorite Easter traditions are making sugar cookies and coloring eggs. We then spend the next few days eating our hard work.
I loved coloring eggs and mixing the colors to create fun shades. After coloring eggs we peeled them and had Egg Salad Sandwiches, another Easter tradition!
We make these delicious sugar cookies for almost every holiday. My favorite time to make them though, is spring. I love the fun colors and all the cute cookie cutters. The recipe and frosting are not complicated but definitely delicious! The recipe is below.

Easter is a holiday full of fun but we must not forget the reason for the holiday. I am grateful that my Savior died for me and was resurrected and that I can celebrate what he did for me with my family. To watch a beautiful video about Easter, click the link below.
