Happy Easter - Christos Anesti

This year regular Easter and Greek Easter fell on the same weekend.  It only happens every five years or so. Christos Anesti or in English, Christ has risen.  This is what you say at Easter if you are Greek, just as you would say Happy Easter.   I have gotten really good at saying Christos Anesti!   

On Saturday night James, Owen and I went to the midnight service at the Greek Church. We were a little nervous to take him out so late.  Just a little worried that he may get fussy, but as always he was a good baby. He slept through the whole service and at 1 am he woke up for his bottle, but we were already on the way home.  So while we waited for the traffic to die down, we feed him in the car.  The service was so beautiful and had he been awake, he would have loved all the candles and lights.

Today we went with the family down to Glen Echo Park and walked around and then out for a late lunch.  It was such a pretty day and it was nice to be out of the house and enjoying the great weather.   DC is so pretty this time of year and after being buried under all that snow for so long, you truly appreciate how kind Mother Nature can be on days like today.  After we got home and we're sitting on the couch, we saw the Easter Bunny hop by.  We really did!  I had my sign out front, "Eater Bunny Stop Here", but he said he'd hop back next year when Owen was big enough to eat chocolate eggs.
