Hello everyone! Today in Russia the holiday of Easter. This morning my husband decided to outsmart everyone and turned the alarm off, so my family woke up 1.5 hours later than we should have))) Surprisingly, even our little girl slept for so long today. It's a real gift! I love the Easter holiday and preparations for it. All paint and decorate eggs, bake cakes or prepare cottage cheese pie. On this day, we're going as a family.

In Russia there is such tradition - to beat eggs. The bottom line is this - every member of the family chooses an egg. Clockwise after that we hit the blunt end of the egg in acute. The winner is the one, who has the strongest egg. You may not believe me, but for the third year in a row, this fight wins my grandmother, who is 83 years old. Maybe she just knows how to pick a strong egg? )))

It is especially great when the weather is warm for Easter and this year it is so. A week ago was a strong snowstorm, but from Monday is very warm and the snow began to melt quickly. Almost everywhere dry asphalt, children got bicycles, scooters, rollers and ride them in the park. We also want to buy a scooter for our daughter so that she can master her first transport by summer) If we go back to Easter, this year, in addition to traditional dishes, I decided to bake cupcakes and decorate them in the form of bird nests. I made chocolate figures of birds, as "eggs" I used get them skittles, and the socket I made from a cream by using special nozzle. I hope, you've learned something new from my post. I'd be very interested and pleased to hear your thoughts!
