christmas morning

The first Christmas morning... they didn't really know what it was all about and after a couple of presents they were ready to call it quits... funny how quickly this will change :)

legos was a big hit!

.. as was the garage with cars

At Ciocia Ania's house

Spent Saturday afternoon at Ciocia Ania's house (Jacek's sis), where the kids got to meet Ania's hamster named Henio and ride a neighbor's bike... cool stuff

Henio

Thanks for the pictures Ania :)

first haircut

Junior showing off his new 'do'

Tula actually did also get a cut, but it was really pro forma, so not much to see yet
PS. Tula now calls herself AGA... go figure

And Junior has been dubbed "Didi" by Aga

doesn't he kinda look like Alec Baldwin (or one of the many brothers).... with this new cut?

Tula being silly

Tula decided to walk around in several of my belts at once for a couple of hours

Tula is trying to fit into our dog's bed, don't ask me why

first professional haircut

They were really brave, Junior even started to giggle towards the end the the electric clippers started tickling


Tula was less pleased with the whole thing, but endured it none the less

I'll try to get nice 'after' pics tomorrow... it was late and the kids fell asleep in the car

their first sleds

It is freeeezing... we can only endure about 15 minutes at a time, but still the twins managed to have a good time.
I mean it's literally freezing --> today is -18 degree Celsius = -0.4 degree Fahrenheit
brrrrr

Christmas party at our neighbors

Saint Nick gave all the kids a surprise (and no one recognized him) ... they were a bit scared at first but then all was ok once the presents were given out
