Family

     Both Pasha and I have huge families. So large that it could easily fill up the Vatican on a Sunday morning for church. I have 1 brother and 4 sisters. None have children nor are they married except for me. However but I have a lot of cousins and Aunts and Uncles. Pasha has 6 sisters and 2 brothers. Since we communicate more with his side this is mainly them. So I will name the mother the father and then the kids and under the kids it will be the children. So what I have tried to stress is for Nastya to learn all the names of her cousins and Aunts and Uncles. Everyone who has kids is married except for one. Having a big family can be taxing, however we make it so much fun we may want to have one as well.

Holidays's

     The holidays are a special time for all of us. Whether we celebrate Kwanza, Christmas or Hanukkah its all about family and friends. Pasha has a large family and so do I. He has 6 sisters and 2 brothers. I have 1 brother and 4 sisters. This tribute is to them. I love all of you and you all make our lives full of love and generosity. You have taught me things that no one else has and I love you all for that.You have accepted me as your sister (the only sister in law they have). We may not always get along, hence us all being different. I love you all so much I don't know what I would do with out you all.
