Merry Christmas and Happy 2015!

Somehow I missed sending Christmas cards on time this year. We must be having so much fun here that there isn't a minute to sit down and get that done! :)

We are thinking about you and we are wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2015! 

We had a very adventurous year. Here are some highlights from it: 

* Allison turned 5 and had a fun Flower Fairy Party. 

* Last winter it snowed in Texas!     Kids were thrilled to make snow angels :) 

*  Both kids were involved in different sports this year, exploring their skills in Marshal Arts, Ballet, Gymnastics, Skating and Soccer. Joshua has scored many goals and made us cheer through heat and cold. Allison prefers to skate and has made some very good progress. She is our little Elsa.

* This summer we visited New Mexico and Utah. It was fun to see some of our old friends and spent quality time with family. 

* Kids had their first sleep over with their friends and had a fun couple of days. 

* Joshua had a fun Superhero Party and turned 4 years old. 

* Allison started her official homeschooling program. She enjoys learning about Nomads and Ancient Egypt, Science, Artists and Musicians.  She really loves to read: she reads in the bathroom, she reads while eating, dressing, riding in the car :) She is near the end of her 2nd grade Math workbook.  Eve loves teaching her and it's a big learning experience for her as well.

* Joshua also started Pre-School! He really likes it; he loves his teachers and his new friends. He had his first crush on a girl named Enzie :) Adorable!

*  Camped at Turner Falls with our new friends from India.

*  Kayaked at Grapevine lake and had a mini camp there.

* Attended Flight Museum in Dallas, Dallas Zoo, many Story Times, splash parks and Home Depot workshops, joined Homeschooling groups.
* Eve had worked as a Tutor in various subjects, mostly Mathematics, and has finished her tutoring this academic year to take care of the children and homeschool Allison. 

* Milko had a summer internship with a local Dallas company and is almost finished with his Graduate Studies in Computer Science. He was offered a paid internship with a company in Richardson. We are keeping our fingers crossed!

* And last, but not least, Eve crashed our car! Oops, this should not be on a Christmas letter?! :) We are waiting for the insurance company to make their decision on our hard-working and dedicated vehicle. Stay tuned for the news! 

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Remember that no matter how many challenges life brings, it brings many more joys!
