Bowling, Late Christmas, and Baked Goods

i showed xristina the patented granny style bowling maneuver.  eleftheria and i took the girls bowling on the last weekend before they went back to crete.  it was great fun.
she picked up the technique quickly
and with great results
happy girls
i love living abroad.  I have been getting christmas cards and gifts since the 10th of december, and now our final (i think) gift came just this week.  it is like mixing the best of christmas and hanukka; great gifts for many days. 
thank you so much for the calendar adam and leanna; i think that it gets more beautiful every year.  i think mom is anxious for me to start moving my stuff out of the house now that i am married.  She has started sending me things that i already own disguised and christmas gifts; really though it was wonderful, eleftheria was impressed i could remember them all. 
she then impressed me by baking this beautiful pistachio bread/cake.  it was absolutely amazing. 

and a big hit with the company that we had that night.

WOW! That bread looks awesome!!and I love the pic of Eleftheria with the girls - they sure do look related. Your gift box arrived today. Your Dad won't share ... just so you know, he is being very selfish. The cookies are fabulous. Did Eleftheria make them? Evangalia? Thank you for the scarf. We'll talk on the weekend, ok? Love you

Great pics! We also got our box today - THANK YOU. I'll try to save a few for Adam but no promises :) Also, do you guys by chance have a recipe for that pistachio cake that you'd be willing to share? It looks amazing!
