Easter Holidays

We spent Easter this year at home. Still haven't got Elizabeth's passport yet, which means that we can't travel anywhere with her. So we decided to stay in Denmark.
David was off work since Thursday. The spring has really come to us as it was up to +17°C. We took advantage of the great weather and got our terrace furniture out.
Katya's been wanting a green house to grow her own tomatoes in since we got the house. Well, this Easter we installed the greenhouse glass, washed all the panes, and David built the potting table for it out of pallets cut to shape with his vast collection of carpentry tools and worked it into to shape and the planting boxes and soil have been bought- all ready to get started!!!
In the evening we had a grand start to the barbeque season! It's so nice outside now without winter clothing and without freezing all the time. Having a couple of hours of daylight in the evening makes it much better. Elizabeth enjoyed staying outside too. She was a great helper, sitting in her pram and entertaining Mummy and Daddy by laughing, singing and talking her usual "Dadada" and "Bababa".
On Good Friday there was a service in our church (Galten Valgmenighed, meaning Fellowship of Choice www.gava.dk). Even that the occassion was sad- our Lord Jesus Christ being crucified, it was a very encouraging message we've heard, about why it was necessary for Jesus to die on the cross.
On Easter Sunday we celebrated this joyful occassion in the morning service, or should I say David did as Katya had to walk around the church building half of the time to get Elizabeth to sleep, as she was very tired- that's a part of parenthood.
Otherwise we enjoyed having some friends over for coffee and supper and going out to see some friends and family.
We spent Sunday afternoon at Larisa's (Katya's sister) summer cottage. It's a lovely place in the middle of the forest with only summer houses and plots and trees. We visited our own plot of land, which we have in the same area. Not much more than trees on it, but we hope one day (when David learns how to use a saw) to build a house there. It'll be one of those DIY jobs for David for the year of 2016, maybe? (But will update you on this progress on 2056 :D)
