Andy asked Santa for a tuba. No lead up, just an announcement a week before Christmas that he's asking Santa for a tuba. Below, Andy's "tuba-sax," custom made by Santa's elves.
The traditional Koivunen Christmas breakfast - rice pudding and dried fruit. Shawn made it from Grandma Helvi's recipe!
Christmas dinner by Nonna
Grrrr
Our new neighborhood is renowned for its Christmas lights. We decided to take a walk after dinner, something I hope will be an annual tradition!
Just one example of our neighbors' enthusiasm for the lights!
And our more modest lights -- obviously we'll have to work on this in years to come!
Like an online photo album, my aim is to update our family and friends, particularly about Andy and Sylvia. We don't get to spend as much time as we'd like with loved ones in Seattle. We have immediate family in MI, PA, HI and OR that we see just once or twice a year. And our friends are scattered across the country (and some other countries) in a sort of archeological representation of our past academic and professional endeavors. So this is a place for those both close and far to keep up with our family. We hope it makes the distance and time disappear!
