Sick this week...

Hello friends and family!  ♥  Christ is Risen!!!  We celebrate Pascha (the Lord's Resurrection) for 40 days, until Christ ascended into heaven.
We've been taking turns being sick in our house the past few days.  Lots of hot tea and honey.  Praying that we didn't unknowlingly pass this on to others and that we will be healthy soon!

Last week, my sister from Canada and her husband and their little daughter were here to visit.  My girls saved up some money and we went shopping.  Hannah bought herself this pretty aqua scarf, which she can wear around her neck, even in summer, it's lightweight and breezy, or as a head covering for church!  She also got herself some sunglasses and those jeans she's wearing.  Olivia bought a beautiful dress, which I'll have to take a picture of her in to share...

Look at little Liza in her jammies...she loved this little window.  It had kisses all over it.

We made this pretty cake, inspired by this recipe, only I couldn't find rosewater.  They were delicious buttery orange cardamom cakes!  My sister did a great job decorating them, adding violets (which are edible) to the top!
