Easter, Visit with Friends, and other fun stuff

Well Hello, I hope everyone is enjoying your week thus far and getting ready for the Holiday, here we have a 5 day holiday.  They honor Good Friday, Easter, and Easter Monday, Germany will pretty much be closed down for a 5 day weekend and most Dr. offices take the opportunity and close down for 2 weeks around this time and take a holiday.

Any way, we had a rough start to our weekend, Ivy woke up from her nap on Friday with a fever and was very lethargic , so she sat on the couch didn't eat and we watched Cinderella.  Saturday she felt better but still had a low grade fever and her stomach was upset(hence the diapers just in case) so we took it easy and boiled and dyed Easter Eggs.  I am disappointed I was so into watching her I didn't get any pictures of her gluing the bunny faces on but here is what I did get.

Ivy picked out this kit when we went grocery shopping, it had 5 colors, 12 stickers to decorate the eggs, 4 rabbit faces to glue on the eggs, and 3 shrink wraps.

 
 Ivy being Silly



 It takes a lot of concentration to put stickers on eggs!


 The finished product!

 
That evening for dinner I decided to try an Asian recipe I found on Pinterest, I made chicken spring rolls and 2 different dipping sauces. Kevin and I both were impressed at how well they tasted.



 
Sunday morning with Ivy feeling better we got on an early train and headed to Strasbourg for the Day/Night To meet Andy and Marsha Costello, good friends of the family.  They were on a river cruise and had some free time to stop and have lunch and spend the afternoon together. 
 



We enjoyed our visit with them and we hope they have a great time on the rest of their river cruise. After parting our ways we met up with a friend and old colleague of Kevin's from Colorado who now lives in Strasbourg.  We went to dinner at their house and they have a daughter a year younger then Ivy , as you can imagine they had a great time together and we had and enjoyable evening as well.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter, we are headed to Basel, Switzerland for 4 days first thing in the morning. I hope to post about our trip early next week.
