Sweet Easter Greeting from Karolina to neighbours

At last Easter Holiday came last Sunday and everybody usually celebrates this Great Holiday with Family. As we are new here in Cyprus, and all our families from both sides live in other places, our neighbours and friends became our family now. It is so nice to know that someone waits for you, is interested in your life and happy for you, when you have good news, or helps you, when you in a trouble.
Moreover, it is very sweet to see how these people treat my child, how they play with her, and I know that they like her a lot and she is friendly and smiley in reply to them.
It was a good mood by both of us with Karolina on Saturday and we decided to make sth pleasant for our neighbours in honour of coming Easter. I asked Karolina if she wants to make muffins with me and she nodded her head, saying "Da!!!", which means yes in Russian language. May be she didn't realise till the end what exactly her mums wants from her but I'm sure that she is always happy to annything together with me. So, that day my baby was the Chef in our Kitchen-)))
Take a look how it was:

At first we put butter and eggs in the bowl and then the turn of sugar came...Oh...Oh...

Karolina helps me to put sugar in the bowl, though it is almost inside...lets say beside-)))

After she realizes that the sugar stayed on her hands which was rather sweet

The time of flour came and here without help of mum it would be vere heavy and difficult to put it herself

That is really fun time when baby must use teh fingers in their work...like painting she spreads the butter...

ooops...new consistence on the hand...sth sticky

the Best time started...decorations which were everywhere including mouth of Karolina


the result of our work

We congratulated our neighbours with Easter and it was the greatest appreciation to see their smile and thankful expression of the face, sweet words especially after they found out who was preparing muffins-)))

P.S. the post is a little bit delayed because that day was full of prepations whereas the next - with celebrations. Anyway, today is Monday after Easter and I wish everyone Happy Easter Holidays!!!

Egg Party 2012 - part 2

Another Easter Egg Party happened with us at the Tots Playgroup!!! At the beginning children were offered to do different craft activities like: creating your own Easter Bag for presents, 3D egg, Face Painting, Egg Colouring, Colouring Page with Easter bunnies or Eggs, Creating a Book with pages of different colours where each page has its own meaning and story behind (which was very educating and interesting information) and of course EGG HUNTING.

children were creating their own bag where they could put their crafts, chocolate eggs and presents from party!

This table took my attention a looootttt!!!how creative can be our kids!!!!

some of kids did 3D eggs decorating them with glitter, paper stripes, etc.

There were so many children that nobody could even expect this. All seats around tables with different activities were not enough for those who desired to take part (what actually was very interesting to see).

There was such interesting thing as FACE PAINTING…what kids liked also very much

Face painting...kids like this new adventure for them!!!easy and simple face painting on Easter thematic made children smile what is the most important for us, mummies

This was our little Easter Bunny, costume surprise)))

The noise of kids’ voices, singing, screaming during playing or creating sth was unlimited))) I guess only the snack time reduced it a little bit for a short time and parents could take a breath while our darlings were saving energy and charging it with tasty things, preparing for the main joy of the day - Egg Hunting.

It was totally funny to watch your baby looking for small colourfull eggs in grass, palm trees, on the road…everywhere around, in one word. I believe parents also enjoyed this activity-)))At the end when our bag was full of Eggs I realized that we found about 20 eggs or so….oh…oh…it was a little bit too much. However for our over-result we got a present from Easter bunny and my baby was very happy about that.

Later we gathered together in a circle and listened to a story about Easter colours, their significance which was reproduced by Rebekah and I found it very necessary to know for our new generation, as they must know not only about some decorations of Easter but the story behind too. And of course….favourite routine for finishing the Party was singing.

Egg Party 2012

Last week and beginning of the present one were fantastic for me and my baby: full of “Easter adventures” with fun, different entertainment, craft activities, sweets and such. We had our first Egg parties which I guess were and will be very memorable.

It took place in 2 different playgroups which we attend with Karolina: Baby Antitode Theatre Playgroup and the Tots (at Greek Evangelical Church) where each of them has its own peculiarities and funny moments, with main focus on Egg Hunting, of course.

Here is the photo report from the First Egg party at Baby Antidote.

The hall was decorated so nice, that I couldnt help but run around and take pictures before kids should come. It looked so amazing and I was like a small girl, enjoying it.
