Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I just love the smells in the air, the budding trees, the True Meaning of Easter [Christ has risen!!!], Easter food, the Hungarian folk tradition of <<sprinkling>> even. Everything.
I grew up in Hungary and I love our Easter traditions. Easter in Hungary consists of TWO DAYS. Yes.
Day 1, Sunday, we go to church in the morning, then an nice Easter lunch with ham, fresh bread, egg-dishes, meatloaf with whole eggs inside, vegetable salads and pastries.
In the afternoon we would go back to church, then watch Easter movies with family. They usually show BenHur, the Life of Jesus and other similar movies.
Day 2: Monday is the day for <<SPRINKLING>> and visiting relatives. Sprinkling can take the form of dousing the women with water, or sprinkling their hair with parfume. I prefer the latter.
Husvet az egyik kedvenc unnepem. Szeretem a levego friss illatat, a rugyezo fakat, a Husvet igazi jelenteset [az Ur Jezus feltamadt!!!], a husveti eteleket, a magyar husveti nepi hagyomanyokat, a locsolast... mindent!
Magyarorszagon nottem fel es nagyon szeretem a hagyomanyokat. Magyarorszagon a Husvet ket napbol all. Elso nap: reggel gyulekezetbe megyunk, utana egy finom kis ebed [sonka, friss kenyer, tojas-etelek, fasirt rud tojassal a kozepeben, zoldseg salatak es sutemenyek. Delutan megnezunk valami Husveti filmet amit adnak, a BenHurt vagy Jezus eletet.
Masodik nap: Husvet hetfon a locsolas tortenik es rokonok latogatasa. A locsolas lehet nagyvodorrel sok vizzel, vagy kolnivel. En az utobbit kedvelem jobban.

We have been doing some fun Easter crafts with Benjamin. To make the little bunnies and eggs is very fun, but I make sure that he knows the real meaning of Easter confidently.
Egesz heten ugyeskedunk Benikevel, kis nyuszikat vagunk ki, es tojasokat festunk... de mindig kiemelem neki, hogy mi is a Husvet igazi jelentosege. Nem a nyuszik es tojasok, hanem hogy az Ur Jezus Feltamadt!!!

Scott and Benjamin had been growing Burpee lettuce in a pot for 5 days now. It is a great learning experience for Benjamin. He loves getting up every morning and running to the pot to check how much the plants grew during the night. They actually grow so fast that the difference between 8 hours is noticable!
Scott es Benike salatat ultettek 5 napja. Benike sokat tanul ezaltal a kiserlet altal, most tanulja hogyan is nonek a novenyek. Minden reggel izgatottan szalad a cserephez hogy megnezze mennyit nottek a kis salata levelek. Olyan gyorsan nonek, hogy az esti es a reggeli meret kozott szemmel lathato kulonbseg van! :)
