Our Swedish Easter

I'm a little late on the Easter post, but here are the pictures nonetheless. The girls really enjoyed their first Påsk Ägg. In Sweden, the Easter Bunny doesn't deliver Easter baskets but large Easter Eggs filled with goodies. Easter at church was a completely different experience for us. The church was really empty because so many of the students that regularly attend had gone home for the 5 day Easter break. No one else seemed to be extra dressed for the occasion, except for our girls who received 2 sets of beautiful matching Easter dresses.

On the eve of Easter, friends of ours invited us over for a traditional Svensk dinner. We had 3 kinds of Sil (pickled herring), hard boiled eggs with shrimp, låx (lox = salmon), köttbular (Swedish meatballs), potatoes and some other yummy dishes. We all enjoyed the meal (really, we liked everything), especially Sonja who just loves Swedish meatballs.









We also received an Easter package from Uncle Andy and Kelly that was greatly enjoyed.
