We did, however, still get a visit from the Easter Bunny here in London! The kids woke up to find eggs and small gifts spread throughout the house...Felt just like Easter morning at home in Connecticut!
Our friends, Jennifer, Jonathan and their son Morris, were kind enough to invite us over for Easter Dinner. Jennifer is from the United States (in fact Wallingford CT) and Jonathan was born and raised in England, so we were able to have a good balance of both American and British influences. We colored eggs, had an Easter egg hunt, played games and ended the afternoon with a wonderful lamb dinner. All in all it was a wonderful day with friends!
Such focus

After the egg hunt, there were more fun and games to be had...bubble blowing, egg & spoon race, water balloon toss...Even the parents got in on the fun!!

After all the fun and games we sat down to a wonderful dinner of Lamb, potatoes, green beans and salad...a first for the Pelatowski Family! Thank you Collins family for a wonderful first Easter in London!!! (Ironic, we usually spend Easter in Connecticut at my aunt Nancy Collins house.)
Lots of Love from London to all our Family and Friends back home!!!
So great. I missed having the annual Easter egg hunt with my family as well but perhaps next year.
