Back by popular demand, I decided to continue our blog. Rather than trying to catch you up on the past 10 months, I think I'll just start with this Christmas.
We hope that each of you had a very Merry Christmas!! We had a most wonderful celebration this year!! Christmas eve we celebrated at our house with 22 other americans and we had a blast. There were seven kids and they stuffed each others stockings with goodies. The adults exchanged secret santa gifts and we shared a large meal together. Afterwards Jason led us in some songs and we worshiped our Savior together. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends to celebrate this holiday season with.
Christmas eve night we opened a few presents, read the christmas story, and we put the kids to bed around 8. Afterwards, Jason and I finished getting christmas gifts ready and watched White Christmas. I was about to bust with excitement for Christmas morning.
We enjoyed a relaxing christmas day starting around 5:30. The kids woke up with excitement and joy. We opened gifts and played all morning and after lunch we got ready for another celebration with the nationals. That evening we watched Christmas movies and read the christmas story again.
I didn't mention that we talked with family several times the past few days. We missed our family this year but we are so thankful for Skype. Thank you family and friends for sending us such sweet gifts and cards. We need each of you in our lives and are really thankful to have you in our lives. Merry Christmas to all!!
The pictures are a little mixed up but all of them are from Christmas eve and Christmas day!
