Happy Easter/Glad Påsk!

Kicked off the Spring/Easter Break with the Spring Hat Parade/performance at the Stockholm International School Thursday morning...  

Sofia's hat
it's so fun seeing all the kids in their colorful hats... it's also fun to spot siblings who obviously made their hats together
Prepped for Easter on Good Friday with the traditional dying of eggs...

yes, mom, that's the green tablecloth I used when I was little!

Decorated for Easter with feathers...


Hunted for giant, Swedish-style Easter eggs at 7am...


Hunted for small eggs filled with treats in the courtyard...

Brunched, after church, at Wienercaféet...  a corner cafe in an exclusive shopping area of Stockholm (around the corner from Prada, Gucci... you get the idea).  Wienercaféet feels like a luxurious Parisian cafe.  Definitely a place to be seen having drinks, lunch or fika (coffee and pastries).  Even if you're just a commoner the maître d' makes you feel welcome and the white coated waiters are attentive. A bit of decadence added to the day!The menu consists mostly of sandwiches and small plates as well as a wide selection of Swedish pastries.  The main dining room has street view and the backroom has a view of the kitchen... both equally entertaining.
