2010....So Far

We haven't had much to say lately, but isn't because we haven't had much to do. Here is a quick summary of some of the things we've been up to (or those things we can describe with photos, anyway!)

Jeff and Maylia celebrated New Year's Eve in Prague, the way they know and love....in the middle of the mayhem at Wenceslas Square. It was just as crazy as the other years. Maylia even got hit in the arm with one of the smaller rockets. Luckily nothing but a singe mark on her jacket resulted.

New Years Day saw the arrival of Grammy and Grampy. We found out their flight was delayed after Jeff and Ella had been waiting for them at the airport. Ella was so excited to see them that she made the decision to stay and wait, basically resulting in a full-day spent at the airport! We had lots of fun while they were here, starting with the official city fireworks the night of the first.

Ella and Mattias loved having Grammy and Grampy here. They visited the Salt Cave, drank hot chocolates in the cafe across the street, went to the municipal house to see an exhibit of costumes from Czech fairytale movies...but most importantly, they just spent time together.

As seen below, Mattias turned two to great acclaim. But another member of the family also celebrated a birthday. We enjoyed a fun night with a bunch of friends at a Peruvian restaurant (Casa Andina) and club (Barra Libre). The next day was a LONG day.

Another birthday celebrated, was Ella's friend, Santi. Who turned the big 5. He had a costume party where Ella got to dress up like "Fancy Nancy" (Thanks for the fancy costume, Grammy!)

And...we've got snow! Ella has been going sledding with her skolka nearly every day. Yesterday we even got to build a snowman with Karen, Sasha, and Roman.
