Do you wanna see some gifts, come along…….

On the weekend, I went home to visit with my folks. And another reason was to deliver goodies to the kids. The Wilson family I worked with, made X-s gifts to my family. They are very busy family with whole bunch of activities going on around them and their kids.

Gavin and Sonja have 5 kids; you can imagine how much work and energy it takes them to keep up with the kids. But they are following up with everything and trying to take part at any event in kids life. While I was in the States, our relationship became closer and I am happy to meet this family and see how they live and how much love and joy they give to the kids.

Well, I got the package from the States last week, and since then, all the kids of my brothers were calling me everyday and wondering when I am going to deliver the goodies! So on the weekends this event took place.

I have two brothers, both of them are married. The oldest one has two daughters Alina -13 and Dana - 10. The second one has tree kids: 2 boys and a girl, Nauryzali - 9, Nurali 13 months, Ayana -6.

My father and mother got gifts from the Wilson`s too. He loves the smell of the cologne!!!!! Trying to be shy, but in reality he is far away from shy person. He is a good father and grand father.


Gavin and Sonja put the entire gifts into special sock; it was fist interesting thing to see. All the kids were excited to see what they got. I wanted whole family to be around when they open the gifts, but the kids were not willing to wait till everybody come, so we started to open.


Alina was fist one. She got a lot of interesting and useful things. But the most exciting was to get tennis shoes. They look so cool, I call them "burning shoes", look how it shines:)!!!!

My mother got also her gift, it was pretty cosmetic bag with make up inside. A few months ago she was asking me to get one, but of course I said ok and never get her it. Thanks to Sonja, you can see my mom being happy.


Our baby boy is serious by nature; it was interesting to see his reaction.
His favorite thing from the gifts became a sippy cup. Since the moment he saw it, he would have it with him everywhere.

Ayana got so excited. She was running around all the time, trying to sneak and have a look what was on the box.

Dana was fast to wear the shoes and checking out what she has got.

She loves pink color, and got pink tennis shoes, it fit her very well, and all day long she wore them.


Nauka looks silly on this picture.






Hey guys you should hear this orchestra, all of them loved the flutes.






On behalf of my family would like to say many thanks to the Wilson family.
About my gifts and people who made them I will post next time!

Again 16.......:)

Good day friends,

Didn`t have lots to say lately till yesterday.
It was my birthday, cool I am getting older like a babushka J J J! People were asking me about my age so I said 16 again, cool age even if it`s 10th time.

In the morning when I came to the office the office manager of our company Anel my close friend took me by surprise. She brought some flowers and cards, but the most exciting was her cutting from construction paper some letters (in order to have a word- combination “Happy birthday”) and gluing it to my desk. So have a look at the pictures.

I haven`t planned to celebrate other then in the office. It`s a tradition to have some get together around the colleagues. It went very nice; people were joking around and wishing me so many wonderful things.








It`s always touching to know what people say about you. Sometimes people say that it doesn’t matter what people think of you, but I am sure it matters, because you can see yourself only from your tower and when you know the opinion of the others and if it`s very positive, it gives you more energy and some how helps you not to fall down and cheers you up.




After celebrating at the office me some colleagues went to the theater to see Kazakh performance named “Aiman -Sholpan”. It`s very old Kaz story about two twin sisters.
I had a nice time.





Hope I will have more exciting moments to share with you,
Take care,
Nazym
