Happy 20th Birthday M!


Happy 20th Birthday M!


Happy 23rd Birthday K!


Happy 24th Birthday H!












M practicing his Russian Street Look.

C trying it on to see if he'd rather use an airline issued eye mask or a shapka.

Note: I did not make four birthday desserts(chocolate chip cheesecake and lemon blueberry pie), only two, we moved the candles around!  

Christmas Decorations




I asked Mom and Dad when they were down to the condo in November for Thanksgiving if they would get a tree and set it up for me.  They did, and found a few other holiday decorations for me.  Mom found the pinterest Christmas banner, Dad printed it and I put M and M to work cutting it out, punching the holes and hanging it, to complete our Christmas decorations.  The stocking came with us from Moscow!  and amazingly enough there were quite a few Christmas cards that found their way to us at various addresses!

Shrimp for Supper!







Nothing like fresh shrimp for supper, unless it is fresh North Carolina winter shrimp, which I think are even sweeter!
