Glad Påsk (Happy Easter)

We had a great Easter. Kenslee could not wait for it to finally be Easter, she started asking me everyday for about 2 weeks if it was Easter yet. Here are some pictures!

These are a couple of funny candies that they have during Easter time. I thought the fried egg was really clever, but I don't really get the teeth. They are both pretty tasty. They had some pink pigs that we also tried and they were disgusting, Kenslee started to gag like crazy. There is also a drink that they have every Easter and Christmas. I asked a guy at the store what it was and he said "it is like coke, Swedish style". We bought some and tried it, to us it tasted like prune juice with carbonation. We are not big fans, but maybe it will grow on us. It was fun to do some of their traditions, and try the goodies.
We decorated eggs on Saturday, we did it a little different this year. We used a box of crayola crayons. It worked and was just as fun. They don't have the Easter decorating kits here, so this is what I came up with.

This was all Billy's doing...Cade loved sucking on the eggs
This is an Easter decoration that you see everywhere. They tie feathers on the end of twigs, these are to represent palm leaves for Palm Sunday. They also tie feathers on trees outside.


The Easter bunny came!!

They don't use Easter Baskets, instead they use cardboard Easter Eggs.
