Happy holidays to all!

Bought a tree from across the street - easy.
Too tall for the lift, climbing 5 floors - hard.


Just look how happy Jeff is to make it to our door.

Decorating started right away. Ella sought to decorate the top...right...


I have to include this shot, just to show May's belly.


Another beautiful belly shot...


Finished at last! (Ella made the dining table centerpiece!)


Yaya and May are particularly proud of their homemade angel.


We store presents high up, atop the kitchen cabinets. (Ella struggles with the ladder off-camera.) Of course, Santa's presents are not here yet.


Ella, in her prettiest outfit, just back from a birthday party.



Roberto (Manesova Street neighbor) gave Ella her first 'Barbie' type doll, actually named 'Ella'. Oh, it starts...


Here's Kristyna, Ella's nanny, Czech teacher, and a great playmate.


And here Ella grabs an early-morning snuggle with Yaya.


Some shots of Prague lit up for Christmas...it truly is gorgeous.


Hope this finds everyone healthy, happy, and surrounded by friends and family. Veselé Vánoce!
