Before
After
San Jose has a fun tradition involving a skating rink downtown.
Nicholas and I were there and decided to give it a try.
And a brief video can be found on YouTube
I visited Moscow in 1988 a few short months before the world changed. At the time I didn’t get a chance to go into the cathedral …
My wife who is all too aware of my Lego obsession bought me a Nanoblock model of Saint Basil’s Cathedral for Christmas.
Building this model brought back memories of my childhood and adventures behind the iron curtain…
Nicholas woke up this morning and ran to the tree to see if Santa Claus had come to town!
And he had so he started to rip open his gifts:
And after he was done he stood in a pile of paper content
Here we have the AT-AT Walker fully assembled. Dad puts them together and Nicholas plays with them
Later on for dinner we had a low key affair with Marcin and Nika and their son
Dave and Dimitris were also there
Natasha’s prime rib made its appearance
And a full complement of dishes to fill us all up :
Finished with tasty treats that included our Gingerbread House
And fine wine
