20 things I miss from Hungary

It's official!!! We are going home to Hungary for the holidays!!!

Yay! We haven't been home for Christmas for 8 years!

Husband just left for Italian school and we are experiencing a little bit of a crisis with Benjamin, major meltdown over homework.  SO I put him in bed for a little nap, or to just calm him down I don't know. He still makes such a drama most afternoons about doing homework. You would think he'd get used to the thought eventually...but it is yet to happen, sadly. First he started crying about homework, then because he didn't want his covers on, then because he just remembered that a mosquito bit him in school...oh boy.

Anyway, I'm gonna use these few minutes while I wait for him to reminesce about Hungary a little bit. I put on some tea, 

    

Michael Buble is quietly singing about a wonderful Christmas day and I am taken back...back...into a magical world....called HOME.
