For the first year, we put a Christmas tree up in our new home since we bought the house. December and Christmas have been many times really hard for us, and we have not always been in a mood to decorate a Christmas tree.

It’s again this time of the year - Christmas season! So many kids asked for snow, and Santa delivered! Outside it is snowing, and we have sat here on the first floor of our unfinished house looking back at the passing year and the best things that happened to us.

We have been to Ljubljana so many times but never had the chance to go and see Ljubljana castle. It has been always something else that needs doing or fixing and we have been postponing this visit for a long time.

When we bought our house, we saw that in our garden, we have a persimmon tree. The first autumn it gave so many persimmons, and we started thinking, what are we going to do with so many fruits that we don’t like eating?

Passing by a billboard around Dolenjske Toplice, we saw the ad that they will have this festival to mark the apple harvest. We love apples, so why not go and see what Slovenians do at such events?
