Ostern !! (8th of April)

 Hey peeps ! Yesterday was the Ostern celebration. It was quite a celebration though. Today is Monday and still is Ostern, so it´s a public holiday!

  So yesterday´s my family´s Ostern celebration starts with a hearty frühstück (breakfast) with my family. With lots of eggs and breads and even lots of easter chocolates!  You never knew how happy I am having easter chocolates as breakfast. *grin grin*

  And then after having breakfast , Mama give Jojo and me some easter present! I am felicitous upon receiving the present because I never knew they give presents during Ostern too, thats like what they did during Christmas! But my mama said, this is the Ostern tradition, giving Ostern presents to kids.
And so, I opened the present and look what I got : 




A super cute pink pug T-shirt. And since now I am quite obsess with pugs, I am really glad to have  this. Danke, mama!

And then, we had a mini game at the house, that is to find the Easter chocolates that are hidden around the house. Traditionally, it was supposed to be a Easter eggs findings around the house and the backyard, but since now there is no more small kids around the house, me and Jojo are practically a grown up already, so we just use easter chocolates instead. And mind you, chocolates are tastier than eggs!! *mischevious wink*.

    So both of us started to search for the chocolates around the house, I am SUPER bad at finding hidden things and so this are the chocolates that I managed to find :

They are too cute to be eaten :D

   And after then, we go on and do our own activities. But after lunch, Mama and Verena decided to play mini golf. So Jojo and me joined both of them. The mini-golf park are only a walking distance from our house.
    I DISLIKE golf very much, mini golf either. But still I decided to give it a go because I want to see how extremely sucks my golf-skills is . And boyyyyyyyy, it sucks BAD !!!!!!! 





   And so we enjoyed the game, I pretty much enjoy the game too, and it´s quite challenging. But , I think mini golf is such an enjoyable sport to play than the REAL golf. Agreed? That depends on you.


Play mini-golf like a SIR.

Sir Cedrik just chilling out and become the ONLY audience to watch our game :D

What a perfect weather to play mini golf. LOVELY.

Mind you, my mini golf skills sucks so bad that I even laugh at myself when I am playing it.


Me with the most loveable pug in the world. 
  Then later that evening, is the Ostern fire ! This the most important part of Ostern , burning the Christmas woods/trees. I don´t know why the reason they burn it, neither does my host family. But we just enjoy the warmth of fire. Almost every person who live in Nordkirchen came to witness the Ostern fire. Actually this is the first event ever where I saw the whole town´s residents come and meet together. Which is nice though, I get to meet new people and get to know them.

    So everyone just witness the fire, talking to each other, with beers on their hand and enjoy the warmth in the cold weather. Me and my familie hang out there for quite some time, meet friends and enjoy a couple of beers. Then, we go home and decided to call it a day.

   I pretty much thought Ostern will be a massive celebration at first , but it turned out to be a low-key one. I enjoy this and let me experienced how Ostern is like. This maybe will be the first and last Ostern celebration for me, but who knows? Maybe I have the chance to celebrate it again next time !
But I like it, and I am really glad to be a part of this celebration.

   So today, I do nothing much really, just chilling out at home and learning Deutsch with Mama. But tomorrow will be a shopping outing in Dortmund with one of my friend.

   Can´t wait to see what will I buy tomorrow ! *wink*

   So, Frohe Ostern, peeps ! Tschüss!
