I have of us from Easter.
Christos Anesti! That means "Happy Easter" in Greek. Orthodox Easter was yesterday, April 27th. We went to the midnight service on Saturday evening and did not get home until 3:00AM Sunday morning! Although the service was long, my brother John did not hesitate to go buy himself a gyro after the service. Nate and I, however, went straight home. We were exhausted. Eventhough the service is quite lengthy, Easter is definitely my favorite holiday. Yesterday afternoon we had a big Easter lunch/dinner at my parents' house. My mom made some traditional Greek food (pastichio and spanakopitas), but we also had some American favorites (sweet potatoes and cheesecake). Tonight we had dinner with my parents again to finish up some leftovers!
