Easter preparations

This afternoon my daughter had to do two things, one to prepare for the beginning of Easter as per Italian tradition and the other for an American one.  Of all of the holidays that I have spent in Italy, Easter is much better here than back at home, but I still love keeping my American traditions alive nonetheless.  The first thing my little one had to do today was have a good long nap, so that she would be rested for this evenings event, which is the Easter procession for Good Friday, the crucifition of Christ.  The other was to decorate Easter eggs so the Easter Bunny could stop by and pick them up to hide for her on Easter morning at nonna's house.   Two completely different aspects of Easter, but both part of how we celebrate.

Here is some documentation of our decorating!  Pictures from this evenings event will follow shortly.
