Easter 2020

In April I was working a lot, so Matt was in charge of e-learning and keeping the kids busy and getting them fresh air during the weekdays.

On Sunday of this week, we celebrated Easter on our own.  We were lucky to still enjoy the traditional Baranko meal, thanks to Donna and Emil dropping it off for us.  We Zoomed with the a bit during dinner, but it wasn't the same.  A strange way to celebrate a major holiday, that's for sure.
