Frohe Ostern!

 
Neighbor's garden decorated for Easter.





Cookie and the Easter tree.

Many houses are decorated like this for Easter. Some trees are made of dry branches, like our mother made them when we were children.

The stores are decorated and various "regular" things are Easter themed, from mugs to masking tape and other stationery items. There are small booths in the middle of the stores where they put these objects and announce them as Easter gift suggestions.

In Brazil, we have big chocolate eggs that come with other things inside (usually candy but could be a small toy). Here, there are no big eggs. Only chocolate rabbits, smaller eggs, baskets and even cooked eggs decorated with paint. It's very different! I must confess it took me a while to realize it was Easter without the eggs everywhere in the supermarket. On the other hand, Easter is everywhere here and it's really beautiful.

Also, it is a holiday from Friday until Monday. Yay!

What did you think of my little model? Super cute close to the eggs, isn't she?

How is Easter celebrated where you live? Huge chocolate eggs at the grocery store or all around?

Happy Easter!
