walnut boats..Christmas eve

Finally they set sail...... On Christmas evening we made a nice place for them to swirl around. After being waiting during advent on the seasonal table, we were all so happy for this moment.

2010!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We wish you a great and inspiring new year.

May all your wishes come nearer to you,

May you see all of your blessings and

enjoy all of it.

Advent 3

Running to the advent third week...know it isn't supposed to be this way....as quiet pace would be fine this time of year.... but in reality. Hai!

In the mean time, maria is pregnant on her donkey with Joseph approaching step by step... via our windowsill...
