ANOTHER MATRYOSHKA

My friend Jellybean moved up north this year. They have a lovely home which her husband has been fixing up for the arrival of his wife and daughter. This was their first Christmas in the renovated home (which Jellybeans Dad had built many years ago) This was a special Christmas for them as their daughter and son-in-law flew in from Florida to celebrate Christmas 2008. Cheers Jellybean on learning how to post all the pics left on your desktop - Glad the visual helped - LOL! (Jellybean prefers a visual) - Anyway, for tons of Christmas' Jellybeans daughter has given her youngest daughter a Matryoshka. What is a matryoshka you might ask - A matryoshka doll, a Babushka doll or a Russian nested doll, also called a stacking doll, is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other. "Matryoshka" (Матрёшка) is a derivative of the Russian female first name "Matryona", which was a very popular name among peasants in old Russia. The name "Matryona" in turn is related to the Latin root, "mater" and means Mother. So the name is closely connected with motherhood and in turn the doll has come to symbolize fertility. Anyway, I love this pic.
