I had great fun playing with my goddaughter who
loved the IKEA 'bang the coloured pegs down' toy!
I read to her, we gave her a beautiful icon of her Guardian Angel from
Holy Dormition Monastery, which I forgot to photograph...
Another special memory was carrying her downstairs (we live on the second floor)
and singing to her...

It was so delightful to see our old dear friends...

I am in a really busy time of year already now,
I wanted to mention,
so if I don't blog as much,
it's not that I am unwell,
just busy and figuring out when to do what.

I am glad I got a moment to capture this evening, that was
a week ago tomorrow!

You had such a beautiful feast! With blessed grapes, too. Special.

Your goddaughter must have been close to Heaven with all that love around.

What a cook and hostess you must be, Elizabeth. You are gifted and special.

Isn't it wonderful to have all your toys played with, to have the youthful spirit in your house. Your festive meal looks fantastic. Glory to God!
