Pictures of Court Day, Part 1

Last post my mom mentioned a gift that we were going to give the children, a special gift that we hoped they would understand and appreciate.  Also a gift that I didn't get till I was eleven, but this is a different case.  when my mom gave the keys to my siblings, (feels good to say that) this is what she said.  "You already hold the key to our hearts, now you hold the key to our home, our home is now your home." 

These are the keys we gave the children, from left to right, Kristina's,  Lera's, Luba's, and Vladik.
