We attended an egg hunt for embassy personnel
at the ambassador's house in the shadow of
Andri'vski Cobor Saturday morning.

Ambassador and Mrs. Tefft (along with Louis the dog)
hosted this event on a rather chilly and damp day.

An appearance by E.Bunny.
He moonlights as a Marine, guarding the embassy, when not hopping around the Ambassador's gardens.
Americans, be proud of your Marines.They are secure enough in their manhood
to wear pink fluffy tails to make little expat children happy.
I was visiting with Mrs. Tefft when a bunch of parents and 0-3 year old children began heading inside. She looked at me and asked if I knew what was going on, and I had to break it to her that there was to be an egg hunt inside the house basement. Um, surprise!?!Baby Girl's first egg hunt.
The next age group got to hunt for eggs in the tiered gardens.
The Boy was not very interested in the mad dash (he got one egg), but he was quite pleased to get to wear his new hat that Baba sent.
Big Girl enjoyed seeing her friend.
Louis, we were told, got cold.
Ambassador Tefft is a Packers fan, hence the jersey.
And those are the only Easter weekend photos I have. To be perfectly honest, I had a rough Sunday. I've been mulling it over whether I will post about it or not. So. So, in conclusion, I've enjoyed looking at your Easter photos and it's a blessing to rejoice with you over our Lord's victory!
I'm linking up with Sandy at the Reluctant Entertainer- pay her a visit to see how others have celebrated!
I'm surprised that the bunny doesn't have a bunny head, but I actually think it's better the way he's dressed up. Not nearly as creepy.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you had a rough day. Hopefully you'll work through things and be able to forget about it.
Love the marine in a bunny suit, complete with a pink tale!! =) Looks like your kids had fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you had a rough Sunday!! *hugs*
Love the pics. Sorry Sunday was hard. :( I think it's great that Big Girl has a friend already--is she from the gym or from church? LOVE the dog, of course and how very funny he had a Packers jersey on of all things since you're originally from there!!!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to be "real", since it's your blog, but I understand (and appreciate) you wanting to be positive.
Hang in there. Praying for you! :)
Sorry to hear you had a rough Sunday. :( I'm thinking of you... and I hope it gets better.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are great. Looks like the kids had a lot of fun! Now, why can't all the Easter bunnies be handsome Marines? Much less scary than those hideous mall bunnies!!!
Hope everything is okay. We think of you guys often and pray for you. It has to be hard. Thank you for your family's service to our country. You go way above and beyond!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing experiences you must be having over there, yet, how so very far you are away from all you know! From what little I've read on your blog since finding you last week, I'd be interested in the stuff that makes you hurt just as much as the stuff that brings you joy. Transparency can be encouraging (and at least for me, writing is cathartic!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog this morning. I look forward to seeing more of your posts!
What a fun day for your family! Such cute pictures :). I'm sorry you had a rough Sunday, I hope that things are on the mend now. Blessings to you today!
