I’ll boast about my gift from my beloved husband—it’s a Jollina ballerina doll from Zapf Creation. Doll from 2008, not new. She is as tall as Paola. The most amazing thing is her mobility; she can assume almost any pose. She has drawn eyes and gorgeous light blonde hair. It was sewn in very neatly; the hair only straightened after washing and brushing. The original accessories included pointe shoes, a tutu, and a hair tie, but I received her in a non-original ballet leotard and colorful elastic pants.

Today, in honor of the holiday, Masha decided to give her classmates and teachers Valentine’s cards, so Mom had to work hard and make these hearts.
