The kids woke me very excitedly to tell me that they had a present for me. They took me into the front part of the house to show me they had cleaned it all up –– even my work desk. What a blessing!
The kids then opened gifts from each other, me, grandparents, and friends from the States (thanks O'Meara clan).
Gabi also made me a lovely card.
I knew a dear friend was working all night and her kids were away, so we had her join us for breakfast. She generously brought along breakfast as well as her family's bunny.
We headed off to church and afterwards came home for an Easter Egg hunt. I went off for a nap to try and get through the day. The three of us headed to the Cemetery (the granite stone and plaque should be finished in the next few weeks) to hang out briefly and leave some flowers from our garden...
...before heading over to dear friends where we spent the next 5+ hours. The three of us really love their company. We even had a traditional Greek egg-cracking competition with the eggs Gabi and I prepared (see photo below) the previous evening.
The kids went to bed quite late, with their exhaustion quite evident. This in part is due to last night's changeover from daylight saving (i.e. their body-clocks would think it is an hour later). Let's hope that means extra sleep at the other end.
HAPPY EASTER FROM THE THREE OF US!
