Our last Christmas in New York - so peaceful!









"Di" gives Ben his present - two super-cute books of "Thomas" (the train)








Christmas Eve - just the two of us (Ben asleep)




Christmas Day (Dec 25, 2010) - visit of the Central Park Zoo















On the second Christmas Day - celebration with our wonderful friends Reeta, Antti, Noah, little Vera and Antti's father (his mom was unfortunately sick)

Ben is checking out what Noah is unwrapping...










Starter: herring with red beets on rye bread.
Main course: lamb with a walnut crust, red cabbage, candied chestnuts, mashed potatoes and fennel, green beans, cranberry sauce and a pear-based whiskey gravy.
Grande finale: marzipan-ice cream with fresh berries - YUMM!








"Our" girl - we have the honor of being Vera's Godparents!!!!!!!!!
So exciting. The baptism will be in Finland in summer!










Noah - trying some lime




HAPPY! ;-)




A big snowstorm came over New York in the night - this is what it looked like this morning (Dec 27). Dianne could not come in since there's more than a foot of snow in most areas and the streets are blocked and public transportation not working everywhere...
