Fasching!

or Karneval!  or Mardi Gras!  or Fat Tuesday!  or whatever you want to call it 🙂  Here in Germany, it’s a lot of fun for kids and adults and kind of rivals our Halloween except without the doom and gloom theme.  This year, Olivia had a Fasching party in her school and Chris had one in his Kindergarten.  Olivia wanted me to decorate the house so that Alex and I could have a party ourselves at home while they were at school, but I didn’t feel that to be really necessary.  😉 Thanks to Kristi and her “leftovers” from their move, we had about 7 cans of aerosal hair color at home which the kids had a lot of fun with.  None of their costumes required colored hair, but they colored their hair anyway!

Here are some pics:
