Boy oh boy, was I right.
Not only did Matt cook a delicious Russian meal (which my girls loved), but he spoke Russian for the children and taught them different words as dinner was served. Later that night Kristin conducted a show and tell. The kids gathered around and watched as she shared some of her treasured Russian keepsakes:
A Russian childrens book.
A wooden toy.
An ornate salt cellar.
We are so grateful to the Malovich family for sharing a little piece of Russia with us. Alexandra and Lorelai were so impressed.
Another (unexpected) treat came as we watched So You Think You Can Dance. As luck would have it, one of the couples were assigned a traditional Russian folk dance. It was wonderful and the costumes beautiful. We watched it three times over (thank goodness for DVR's).
