Celebrating Easter- April 3-4

A few days before Easter, guelita Lupita got sick and had to go to the hospital. She seemed to be doing ok, with lots of ups and downs over the days. But on Saturday and Sunday, guelita Lupita was doing really well and we were all in good spirits and in the mood to celebrate.

On Saturday, we took some time to make cascarones, which are colorful, confetti-filled egg shells. Rocio, Jackie, Will and I spent a good part of the afternoon dyeing and filling out the cascarones. Will and I had also prepared baskets for Miya, Rocio and Jackie. These are some of the pictures of us and our creations:

Then on Easter Sunday we had the egg hunt! But this is a lot more fun than a traditional egg hunt because we get to then crack all the cascarones on each other's heads. We had also hidden a couple of "golden" eggs with some cash it them :) These are some pictures of the hunt and the ensuing fun cracking the eggs.
