Long time, no see...

Nope, didn't start too good this year, blogwise. But other than that, I'm not complaining.
So, what have I been up to? Let's see...

There was Christmas.

The girls got a swing in their new room, which was an instant hit.

It was raining, which was quite on the contrary to last year's Christmas. We were happy to have my mom with us for Christmas but were a bit sad that this year her mom wasn't among us anymore. We all miss her.

We made carelian pies and I managed to make an excellent jerk wild boar ham with Jamie Oliver's recipe.

All in all, Christmas was everything we had hoped for: quality time with the family, good food and relaxation.
