I know this post is terribly overdue but I finally sat down and got some pictures from the camera onto the computer! It was great to collect AK from the airport and finally celebrate Christmas with her! She was in awe that Santa had visited here as well. She assumed that he would only be visiting her in Canada!
Santa's big gift to AK was a pet fish. She promptly named him Flowers but has subsequently renamed him Feathers. Who can figure out her logic? AK does a great job of helping to feed Flowers / Feathers every morning and we do think he has fit into our family nicely!
AK also was happy to receive some Christmas ornaments. This kid cannot get enough of Christmas ornaments and still has a few out that she likes to play with. Perhaps by the time Easter rolls around, we'll have everything packed away!
We celebrated with our friends a week later with my annual Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner... did it about a week late but it was fabulous otherwise. I completely forgot to take pictures but trust that it was a houseful of company and great food.
