Snowy Christmas in New Hampshire

Our Christmas this year was in New Hampshire with Stephen's family. It was a Christmas full of activities: Stephen really enjoyed skiing, while I enjoyed simply watching him. I was terrible at staying straight on the skies. Stephen and his brothers also enjoyed sledding and getting wet in the snow. I tried to stay away from all those crazy activities.....

Meg our new niece was a highlight of our trip. You can tell from the pictures that we pampered her a lot.


Our trip to NH also included a 2 day visit in Boston which was simply enchanting.



We played lots of games, exchanged gifts, drove around to see neat places, and ate lots of good food....I must truly join the gym now...

Dancing as a little girl.....

Of course, not to forget, Georgian National State Ballet. My mom allowed me to be part of the dance academy under National Georgian Ballet in 6th-7th grades. Since I was tall for my age and skinny I was asked to join the women's dance ensemble. It was lots of exercise, but it was so much fun. We traveled to Germany to couple performances-I cannot believe that my mom let me travel at that age....Also, we danced on the same stage as this video shows (Tbilisi National Philarmonic). I had many of the costumes as these women have...What a cultural and fun experience for a kid...I will never forget it.....It was worth it!

Too Much Free Time!

During the vacation I have been having lots of free time to enjoy videos of my favorite dancers...Here is an example of Nina Ananiashvili....She is amazing!

Some Pictures of the Holiday Party

So many friends came to our Holiday Party-friends from church, my PA school, neighbors....Food was amazing..Here are some pictures!

Our Friends in Town

Budimirs visited us this past week with their new baby Ema. Budimirs, our good friends, are raising support to go to Croatia this next year.

We held a Holiday Party in honor of them so that they could meet our friends in Charleston and share with them their mission. How sad that I did not get any pictures untill we go to the airport to say good buy to them....
