Happy Easter! Love that I get to share your Swedish Easter traditions.
Great pictures as always! It is one of those old heathen traditions from mid 1800s.... the witches travel to "blåkulla" on their brooms. Hence the valborgsmässobrasor to scare them away... How we got from there to actually dressing up as påsk-kärringar and handing out home made cards and receiving candy in return is a mystery to me... Maybe we are trying to follow the Americans Halloween example?!
Weird! It's fun to see the different traditions. :) Your kids are adorable! The little painted freckles on the girls' cheeks are just too cute!
