Bear with me and I will try to have all our holiday pictures posted by spring! This was our fun party with 3 special families. Pres. & Sis. G. are on the couch to the left with their Misha standing by door and their Paulina in white sweater. They are expecting another in May. Pres. & Sis. S. are in middle of picture with Katya in the black sweater in very middle. Bro. & Sis. K are to the far right and far left of the picture (he with red tie). Their son, and his girlfriend visiting from Ukraine, are seen in other pictures. They are all long time stalwarts in the church in Volgograd.
Enjoying Swedish meatballs, Russian salad & American breadsticks!
Olga K. does not like her picture taken.
What fun they had with our traditional candy bar game.
Even Olga got into it!
They are very competitive!
Will Paulina get some this time?
Pavel has some in his mouth!
Then of course, the traditional left/right pass the gift game (a shorter version that Katya translated). Tatiana was thrilled to end up with the most heavy and beautiful gift.....
...that contained a wrench (that she couldn't keep) and a small candy bar (that she could).
Happy with their treats!
Everyone got one.
Let's see what you got, Paulina and Pavel!
Dessert time: Left over breadsticks and holly wreaths and treats they brought!
Always plenty of food and treats and fun, just like at home (kind of)!
