The Easter Bunny Was Here!

After we had started to think that the Easter Bunny forgot to stop by our house, he just happened to make his way through our row of gardens right when Daddy was taking a shower, Mama was picking up Berit from the train station, and Oma and Sophie were out in the neighborhood looking for him. Somebody was very happy upon returning.

 In Germany the Easter Bunny drops some kinder surprise eggs and other treats.

 Yes, it was cold!

 See, the Easter Bunny came to Lina's house at the same time. How perfect is that?

 Note the sunshine!

Then Berit colored some more eggs with Sophie while I prepared our Easter dinner: pork loin with pears and leek in a mustard sauce and loads of roasted vegetables. Andrew topped it off with an American apple pie (from scratch). 

Subsequent food coma.

How lucky that it is another holiday (Easter Monday) tomorrow with nothing planned.

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt

While Daddy is hurrying home, ...

 ... the kids in the neighborhood were gearing up for the Veenpark (where we live) Easter egg hunt.

 Here are Sophie and her friend Lina, buckets in hands, ready to go.

 And off they run - very good teamwork

 Lina's bucket was getting too small and eggs started spilling over.

The two girls enjoying the cake at the subsequent brunch. What in the world happened to the warm spring weather we had last week? We had to pull our winter gear out again.
