Celebration of Spring and Saying Goodbye to Winter

This past week was BLINI week!!! You see in the pic just below that a blini is a pancake. Nothing big happened this week until the weekend!! We all went to a small festal on Saturday and then to a very big celebration on Sunday!!! It’s called Maslenitsa, it’s a celebration of spring and saying goodbye to winter!

Blini (pancakes) stacked high.

This is the coordinator for us! she loves to dance.
