Christmas

Christmas was different this year. We did some of our old traditions and started some new ones. It was especially great to talk to family on skype - that helped us miss home a little less. For dinner we went over to another workers house for dinner - filled with traditional food. A package from the States arrived Christmas eve so that was a treat - (we believe from God - it should have never made it here that fast!) So the kids had some new DS games and some new movies to watch. Thanks Nana! Here are some pics from the day:

Ron won this leopard skin hat in our white elephant exchange, but lost it to someone else!
Here is our "tree" - more like a garland wall hanging. Ron was very creative - the kids loved it!


Faith got a king size Reese's cup which are pretty non-existent here - thanks Laverne!



Nana gave Zach a new digital camera - he was so excited!!!


Luke got Prince Caspian!


Here is a Wise Lizard following the star to Bethlehem - thankfully he left the others in the East!

I bet that wasn't among your Christmas decorations!

It's nice to see you had a great Christmas, we were thinking about you.
Maybe we need to move where Reese's are scarce - we'd all be healthier.
Have a great New Year!
Take care,
Laura

Gosh, guys, it is so nice to read about your adventures, but I do miss you. The day you were with us via Skype brought so many memories...like a special anniversary dinner while "Engaging" on a visitation night. Hope your 2009 is as wonderful as you are!! Bless you, Karen
