Melkam Fasika! Happy Ethiopian Easter!

I am a very bad blogger!!!! Lots has happened, I haven't written anything! First off Happy Easter! (in Ethiopia today) We are having Doro Wat for dinner. Mati is running in the middle school track meets, even though he is only in 6th grade...way to go!

Emma had a birthday,my baby is six years old now!!!!!! It was supposed to be at the park but it rained! It never rains here but it did for her birthday. We had to have the party in our home, I stayed awake all night coming up with fun Princess games to fill two hours with what ended up being 15 kids! Very unfortunately we only got through 3 of the games. It was hectic and crazy. All the "Princes" chased the "Princesses" around the house with their swords. Then the girls wanted swords instead of crowns. The poison apple game was a hit though! The kids passed the poisoned apple around to music, when the music stopped the child with the apple had to "fall asleep" the game went on till the last kid had to wake up everyone with a Hershey kiss!

We have had such fun this month! We went bowling,








had Easter breakfast and painted Easter Eggs




and made cookies.







The boys went on a 25 mile bike ride with the scouts! Whew!
