And our Christmas continues! Today I am in the kitchen cleaning up and making something good to bring to a New Year's Eve party tonight when a DHL delivery man comes to the door. And our very generous friends from Austria strike again! Here you see the kids displaying some of the yummy goodies enclosed for all to share. There is a ton of chocolates, spices, cookies, jams, hot cocoa mix ... It is possible our cupboards could have been bear this week. So, now we are replenished with enough good things until the next holiday. Each year we are overwhelmed with the generosity of our Austrian family.
And how were we lucky enough to get an Austrian family? Once upon a time Michael's mom was an exchange student in Austria. And we have been fortunate to be a acquainted with them. The rest, as they say, is history. That is the short story.
Here, below, are the six kids (well, a few of them are all grown up!) from the Burdis Family. They have come to the U.S. a couple of times. We have yet to visit Austria. But it is on our list of places to visit some day. And Greece. We haven't forgotten our Greek friends either. Or our Australian cousins. Or our Minnesotan cousins. Or my brother and sister in law in Arizona. Yes, we have many places yet to visit!
