Christmas in Mississippi...

We've celebrated Christmas at Pinelake church at Starkville, MS

This year we got to celebrate Christmas in America for the first time together as a family (me and Katya) . And it is now NOT a cold and snowy Maine (which would be usuall for us), but rather warm and sunny Mississippi!:-) We were invited to the States by a good friend of ours Chuck, whom we've met at Passion conference in Atlanta back in 2010... eversince, we've become really good friends and we've visited Chuck in US before and he came to visit us in L'viv Ukraine. One other reason we've came to the States is to participate in Passion 2012 conference in Atlanta, Georgia. We are looking forward to that VERY MUCH, cause this year we will be volunteering. Here are some pictures from our trip for now:

Celebrating Christmas with Lovorn's family

Katya's grand mom turned 80!

This fall Katya's grand mom, IVANNA, turned EIGHTY! We went to her house to greet her with this honorable date. She's doing quite all right and still does some things by herself at the garden and at dacha (sometimes). She loves gardening, but of course at this age can not do much.

That day I wondered how would we look when we are 80 and what would our birthday look like?
