This is one of our family traditions, everybody makes their own pizzas with whatever they want on them.

We had a great Christmas Day. For the first time this year, it really showed overnight, with huge, beautiful flakes floating to the ground. Not a lot of snow fell, but the grass was completely covered.

Tatyana gave the girls new boots for Christmas. But, of course, the girls had to choose their own. We went to Dordoy Bazaar to look for boots. They got really cut ones.

Since I didn’t get any blogging done in Washington, here I am playing catch-up again. Anyway, we left Hawaii on September 15 for Washington to have Tatyana’s brain tumor removed. It was a pretty stressful time, but as you will see, we had some fun, too. Tatyana didn’t have her appointment with the brain surgeon […]
