Happy Easter

On Wednesday Lochlan participated in the "Bonnet Parade" at preschool. It's an English tradition where the children make Easter Bonnets (hats)- at home I might add - and then wear them in a parade to Easter music (if there is such a thing). It was really cute and Lochlan really enjoyed it, which surprised me a bit because he's not always into that stuff. The parents were invited to watch and they had sweets,tea and coffee and a raffle afterwards.

We had a nice Easter weekend including lots of chocolate, eggs, church, shopping and friends. The weather wasn't fantastic this weekend so we spent a lot of time indoors, hence the shopping on Sat. We had our friends Fran and John and their new baby Imogen for Easter dinner and spent quite a bit of time organizing our trip to Ireland as we leave Thurs. The kids enjoyed looking for their Easter baskets and eggs that the Easter bunny hid and did well in church considering it was a long service.

Here are some pictures of the Bonnet Parade and of Easter Weekend. Cheers! L
