Snow

When we woke up this weekend we were greeted to the sight of our first snowfall in Hungary. The kids were very excited. Katie thought is was "so pretty!" VJ declared that "It's Christmas!" Unfortunately we did not get a chance to go play in the snow as it didn't stay around for too long. But don't worry, the kids had a blast going with us to ElectroWorld and MediaMarket comparing prices on washers, dryer and various household appliances.

The snow fall did prompt us into buying boots for Katie & VJ (& me too!) When we do get to play in the snow, we want to be prepared!

Much time was also spent on our new favorite toy: Lincoln Logs. Santa brought these for VJ, but everyone is enjoying them.

We also drove out to our new house, just to check out the drive and look around the neighborhood. Our complex backs up right against the woods and it looks like there are several walking trails where we can watch nature freaks walk as we drive by on the way to the mall (I mean let's not kid ourselves).

We get the keys to the house tomorrow and can begin moving some of the extra junk in the hotel over right away. Anna just got confirmation this morning that our sea shipment did arrive in Budapest on Friday and they are trying to wrap things up with customs to deliver it to the house by the end of this week. Keep your fingers crossed!

And now some pictures:

    I think this is the first picture I've ever seen where I think Katie looks like Anna.

    Can't wait to see pictures of the new place. You ought to get VJ a BB gun so he can shoot at birds and squirrels in the nature preserve. That ought to go over big with those "nature freaks"

    Those Lincoln logs look like a pretty sophisticated fort. Who 'really' built it. Just remember this coming summer about the little critters that are found in woodlands and take prevention before the kids go out. Then enjoy!
