An eggcellent Easter!

It would be easy for Easter to pass us by here in Shanghai as this is one festival that the Chinese don't seem to have taken up.  It is possible to get some easter eggs in imported sections of supermarkets and, of course, at M and S!

William and Oliver have learnt a bit about Easter at school and I went in in the last week of term to make chocolate crispy nests (with REAL cadbury's mini eggs).



On Easter Saturday we had a day out and a picnic by the river where we fielded lots of Easter questions from Oliver and William.  They both seem quite concerned that Jesus was born at Christmas and then crucified at Easter which is not long after!  The weather was gorgeous: sunny and warm, a fact which seemed to have passed the locals by (check out the four behind Sam in ski jackets!).



 



On Easter sunday the Easter Bunny visited our garden and left some eggs and other Easter chocolate hidden for two little boys to find.
