our sweet girls, sister lovin's, etc.)

It is so fun to watch her interact with the "animals". She just discovered her hand, so she watches it and slowly moves it over to knock the play gym. |

Singing (so sweetly!) for our church the Sunday before Christmas. Lauren is near the center in the front row. |

We had a family party to celebrate our December
birthdays - Uncle Cosmin (on the 12th), Gruia (on the 16th), Sydney (who turned
two on the 20th), and Nina (a family friend).
Next year we will probably want to give Sydney
her own birthday bash, but this year she was perfectly content
sharing the attention and spending time with her family.
Christmas Fiesta with some friends from our Bible study,
including cooking-making courtesy of Pati...
After we celebrated Jesus' birthday with our girls, we
spent the rest of Christmas and the day after with our families.
(those are Sydney's sweet little feet above)
New Year's Eve: The party kicked-off with some dancing and
continued with our three nephews staying overnight with us.
