The Night before Christmas

The night before Christmas is today! I have to be patient until 1am and then I meet all our extended family :). There still something to do, but I feel relaxed and ready to celebrate. May this Christmas season be merry! Ilze

I slept in!

  For the first time in 5 years – I slept in (I’m not sure about the right definition here… Overslept… Neah!) Let me explain. My dear mother is with us right now. I woke up at 10am. Some may say that it is not “slept in” if you have to get to work.. it’s overslept! Maybe. But … More I slept in!
