Birthdays

Birthdays are always fun to celebrate, especially if the location is Heard museum that features dinosaurs at the same time!

Big brother to be...

waiting is hard, especially for a 4 year old who is waiting for the arrival of a new baby brother. David has done a great job waiting patiently for the baby:

New Year

New Year is one of the most celebrated holidays in Russia. Grandgfather Frost comes at night and brings gifts for the kids, and David got a lot of toys this new Year (after 8 gifts for Hannukah, Christmas, and then New Year). Some were most popular than others, but the face on David's face showing the joy of opening yet another gift, well, priceless. Here are some to view:

X-mas morning

For Christmas morning we went to our friends to celebrate with them. The tree was beautiful with the gifts galore under the tree. Everyone had gifts under the tree and the opening of the gifts was the best, all had fun. The best part, of course, was watching everyone when they were opening their gifts, especially David and Sasha. Thank you for all the gifts, and a great time! Same time same place next year? Hope so!

A gift

The boys really liked the gift that Morels brougt for David for the first night of Hanukkah. Can you guess who is who? Which one is having more fun?

Hanukkah

Happy Hanukkah! Today is the last night of Hanukkah and David had opened his last gift already. It was fun celebrating and watching David open his gifts, one by one, all 8 of them. For the first night we had our dear friends, the Morels, come for dinner. It was nice having them over and watch the boysplay with their gifts and with each other. Sasha has grown so much! He is soo cute.

how we were

Remember the face? It's hard to believe these pictures are from 2006. We are almost in 2009!
