Putting stickers on the eggs to decorate them. I couldn't find white eggs so, we had to make do with what we had.
The kids had off on Monday. Here is Spain it's called Dia de Mono...which roughly translated means day of the cute...or monkey. But it's the day the kids get to eat the chocolate creations given to them by their godparents. All through the past month chocolate creations have been springing up in bakeries everywhere. These are elaborate chocolate figures on top of short flat "cakes." I'm not positive there is any actual cake there but more of a platform to put on more and more chocolate. There are a lot of themed cakes from disney characters to folk tales and some can cost as much as 350 euroes. The kids had requested an Easter egg hunt with their friends so we organized a small gathering of 16 kids from 7 families. We hid 67 eggs. All were found...eventually. We were lucky because after a weekend of rain the sun came out and it was a beautiful day.
Alexa , Karina and Jackie after the hunt...
The chocolate creation I settled for....
After everyone left we gathered for a game of croquet...
Even Rascal and Mischief got into the act...
The kids are all back at school, and Nick is at work. The house is quiet...I hope you all had a fabulous Easter.
Love to all
Bren
