Oma and Opa are here for a visit and they came just in time to celebrate Easter with us! Here are a few snapshots of our festivities together this weekend. Some things not depicted here are the kids, Oma and I dying eggs together. Olli was thoughtful enough to get the kids Disney-themed stickers and egg wraps to go on their dyed eggs--the kids were very excited about this. Lukas had Lightning McQueen and Isa had Disney-Princesses. The kids woke up to Easter Egg Baskets filled with kites, paint-by-number kits and walkie-talkies. We also enjoyed Lamb with Greek Peas and Potatoes and we played the "Egg Game" while saying "Christos Anesti" and "Alithos Anesti" to each other around the table as we "whacked" the eggs together in pairs. Isabel won the game!

| And they're off!! |

| Lukas and Isabel before beginning the Easter Egg Hunt in our own backyard. Olli actually hides these eggs so that it really is a "hunt" rather than simply gathering them like at DCH. |
 |
| Isabel found her first egg! |
 |
| Lukas found his first egg! |
 |
| All 16 eggs have been found--Lukas found the special golden egg |
