Easter 2010

Easter morning
Australia's national religion is Christianity so Easter is very big out here. We kicked the Holidays off with a school assembly (Easter hat parade, singing and morning tea with the parents) at Olivia's school. Olivia had just been discharged from the hospital a day before from her kidney infection so I brought her to school just for the assembly so she could see her friends. The school was so excited to see her after she had been absent for nearly a month. It really is a wonderful school. Olivia has over 100 get well cards from this little Kindy- year 2 infant school. The principal sent her gifts while she was in the hospital and also called weekly. Several of the parents also helped me out with my kids so I was excited to see some of the parents as well. Here are some clips of the assembly...

Thursday was the last day of school and then Good Friday through Easter Monday are public holidays (4 day weekend), So Stan has been home!! We have been able to catch up from all the chaos and get a lot of R&R. We were also able to see "How to train a dragon" on the opening day and spent some time on the beach! Easter weekend is a lot like American Thanksgiving, everyone spends it with family if they can so there is quite a bit of travelling.
