Our month of May

May is almost over now. This month Sofia had her confirmation and we went to two other confirmations.
The confirmation was at 6 in the evening and we had a nice little party afterwards at the restaurant at the barn where we go horse riding. It actually is the yacht club restaurant and is a very nice place for this kind of parties. We invited some relatives, our finnish and swedish friends here and Sofia's best friends.

My parents came here from Finland. We didn't do anything special a part from the confirmation party, just every day life and lots of cappuccinos.
Our 15 year-old dog Milla had a little surgery, because she had a big lipoma that had grown very much and started to annoy her. Luckily everything went well and the vet said it had started to become inflamed, so it was good that it was removed.
Me and Sofia had two show jumping competitions. Sofia did very well in both and was happy because she finally had a change to partecipate in show jumping in the new barn where we stared in February.
May was a good month for her. She also went on a class trip to Calabria. She didn't want to go at first, but in the end she had a good time. This is the last year in this school and next year she will have a new class with new school friends.

Easter

The children had a week off from school for Easter. We painted eggs, had a little egg hunt in the garden, had a nice lunch at home with their grand mother and big chocolate eggs.
Easter Monday is a pick nick day here in Italy, but this year the weather wasn't so nice. Me and Sofia managed to go horse riding in the morning before it started raining, home for a shower and then we had a home pick nick at our friend's house. Everyone brought something to eat and it was very nice! The boys played football, the girls played horses and jumped obstacles that they made and as our girls all go horse riding in different riding schools, we talked mostly about horses and our husbands about football, I imagine.
