Izmailova Market

This morning Mom trecked out in the cold to Izmailova market. She got these:

"Ded Moroz", Grandfather Frost, Santa
Angel

Nativity #1, I love its simplicity!

Nativity #2

Mom's creativity!

Mom made Christmas trees out of cookies for our neighbors, driver, J+J's teacher and another one for who knows who! The Fourth one is on its way to Galina's house right now, so I didnt get to take a picture of it. I remember it had silber sprinkle balls on it though (just like the ones on the star -below-).

Happy Birthday Jessica and Joshua!

7 years ago, on December 17, 2007, Joshua Sergei and Jessica Svetlana were born. They were placed in our family about 8 months afterwards, and I am so happy to have them as my brother and sister! Happy Birthday to Jess and Josh!!! Here is a slideshow of when they were little...

Cool kidos....

Me after a long hard, day of school....

Me and Ramilya, the housekeeper, tired and a little hungry....we ate some candy afterwards...i think we were already to much "off the wall". my grammar is horrible!

BBC One - Comic Relief - Mr Bean's Wedding

My creativity shown at last.....it was actually really good!!

Did we ever mention....

Did we ever mention we like comments?

Joshua

Josh is also almost 7, and his favorite thing is: trucks. He goes to art school, has piano lessons, crafts, reading and writing in both languages, math (jess has this too). He likes to play outside. He is also sitting right next to me saying: "i dont like you talking about me. dont talk about me!" and now he is talking about milk....

Sasha and Daisy

Daisy decided she would do school today...

I am having a bad hair day...

Daisy is Daisy....

I am taking 3 online courses: Geography, English and Vocabulary. I also have math (algebra, geometry/trig, physics and chemistry), science (sam has this too), Russian, violin and piano....

Mom and I also go to the embassy to work out, I just got home from that and Jess tells me I need to shower! How nice it is to have younger siblings remind you of things, isnt it?

Sam

Sambo-rambo

Sam is getting water for himself as he gets ready for baseball. Sam has 3 online courses: English, Latin and History, along with math, russian, guitar, and baseball.

He will hate me for posting this, so thats all I am gonna say! :-)

Jessica

My lovely sister...

Jessica is almost 7 (dec 17.), and is very fun to be around. She goes to music school for violin, thoery, rhythm and choir. She has private piano lessons. Along with everything else, she has art school, reading and writing in both languages, and hmm.....I think thats it.

She enjoys Barbies and Bratz (which is not to Mom's liking, but oh well), drawing and reading her first books.

"A Tropical Get-away!"

This is my gingerbread house. Unfortunately, when it was being shipped over a lot of pieces broke. Pa and Ma fixed it with popcicle sticks, and we managed to get the 4 sides up. The roof, well, thats a different story. Becky and I call it the "Tropical Get-away house" where you can suntan all you want! We were gonna use the chimney pieces as an outhouse, but we got distracted and forgot....we have a very short train of thought it you couldnt tell! Here are the pix.

Chefs at work

Becky came here today to help with the party. It was so nice of her to spend her whole day with us. We goofed off a little and decided to be the head chefs of the party. here we are:

The head chefs!!!
