Christmas 2009

This Christmas was not only memorable because of it being Emily's 1st Christmas, but also because Viktor's brother, Andras, was able to come over from Scotland for two weeks. It was a busy two weeks, indeed, but we enjoyed giving him a taste of our life in the States. It was also special to finally have someone from Viktor's family meet Emily!

Andras and his girlfriend, Betty.

We spent 4 days in Bloomington with my family. We enjoyed visiting with my parents, brother, uncles, aunt, and grandma. Here I am in a deep conversation with my Uncle Mike...who also got to meet Emily for the first time. She was a big fan!

Here we are getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner. Viktor and I took turns with Emily who was sleeping in the basement (so he is missing from the picture).

Thanks to my dad, we all had fresh brewed lattes every morning.

What better way to welcome Andras and Betty to Bloomington than with IU t-shirts.

Here we are with our good friends from Asbury (who are now in a church in northern Indiana), Dan and Steph. We met up with them for lunch in downtown Indy on Saturday.

Stay tuned...more blog updates to come!
