Advent 2010 day 20

My dad has arrived.

Happy days.

We spent last night discussing the menu for our traditional Polish Christmas.

It was very joyful.

All of us together again.

At one point I told Sohail that it even feels like my mom is here with us.

He said that she is.

I felt her next to me.

She said, "Yes, I am."

True story.

It still gives me goosebumps.

My dad and my brother have revamped my garden.

It took them one hour.

I woke up from my nap and didn't recognise it.

My dad is the strongest man I know.

My brother is the biggest man I know.

Together, they make a great team in the garden.

I went out with my dad today.

Annie and my brother spent the time making garlands for the birds to eat.

Fruit.

Popcorn.

Walnut shells filled with peanut butter and bird seed.

My brother and his amazing photography skills.

Doesn't it look so pretty?

I hope the birds like it.

We have hidden it in a tree so that our cat doesn't get the birds.

Mary is walking along very happily.

She has acquired a donkey today.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Blessings to you.
