First Xmas (exactly) at the Age of 5 Months

Everything is peaceful and quiet now. The Xmas tree lights up the room, there are Xmas films on TV without intermission, Xmas songs still ring in my ears. There’s no trace of the crazy fuss. It’s time to relax and enjoy every moment of the rest of the holiday and of the rest of the year of 2007! Dominik is sleeping, Krisz has a rest as well. Deservedly. Well-earned rest for both. Krisz helped me a lot yesterday, he’s a real goodhusband, did the honours of the house and spent time playing with Dominik. Parents were invited for dinner and we did the dishes and the preparations with our whole heart. The festive board included two kinds of soup: turkey stew with tarragon, thick soup made of maroon with pure Canadian marple syrup on top. Then fish in breadcrumbs with mashed potatoes, roasted fish fillet in creamy sauce with dill, sirlion with vegetable rice balls and tartar sauce… Although there were comings and goings more than enough, Dominik adapted himself to the circumstances very well (new people, rousing him from his sleep, different bath-times, etc…) and was my right hand.

Beautiful photos and update. Your wreath is gorgeous and I bet it was tasty as well. What a little helper you have there, and yes a FABULOUS husband too!
