New Years

On New Year's Eve we all enjoyed an enormous "New Year's Pretzel" and then had some champagne. I succumbed to jet lag and fell asleep early, only to be roused from my bed at midnight by the sound of fire works. They were setting them off in the streets, and it felt like we were in the middle of an enormous fire works show. Very cool.

On New Years Day we visited Iria's sister on her farm in the country. Cousin Jacob immediately bonded with Keira, cousin Anna became fast friends with Katharine (dolls appear to be the universal little girl language), and Lukas took a walk outside with a barn cat.
