Christmas- 99% Good

Christmas was everything we thought it would be... and more! Sveta was bombarded with presents from the whole family. This is a stark contrast to Christmases past she spent in the orphanage.

I think she liked all her presents, but I think the rocking horse we bought for her was her favorite. This rocking horse makes whinny sounds and clopping noises. It is just darling!

The whole day was a lot of fun.

The only negative is the report of the baby Jesus being stolen from the manger scene we visit every year. The news said the Jesus wax figure is 65 years old. I only hope the so called jokester returns the baby undamaged. This manger scene is local tradition and institution.
