Merry Christmas!

Boys in their new PJ's on Christmas Eve

We had a lovely Christmas, a really wonderful day! Christmas Eve we did our family tradition of letting the boys open one present each. It's always Pajamas but they haven't worked that out yet :). They were really excited and it's so nice for them to go to bed and wake up Christmas morning with their new PJ's on. We had our missionary friends over for lunch and then another 3 families over for dessert later in the afternoon. It was busy but a lot of fun. Later in the evening we all played the Wii (a present from my brother and family for the boys for Christmas) and it was hilarious watching a bunch of grown-ups play it :). We praise God that we have such a great group of friends up here already.

Jake and I got each other presents when we were in the States but Jake broke our rule and got me some lovely little things anyway. He managed to find some almost new Crocs in a second-hand shop here, they are so comfy! He also got me some candles and chocolate, yum!

Highlight of the day was to speak to my family (thank you Skpe!). Such a huge blessings, managed to get a hold of all three of my brothers as well as my parents.

Sunday we head to the Beach for a few days for our New Year tradition of camping on the coast with a bunch of other missionary families. Really looking forward to it! It is out in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone reception, no electric, so all you can do is relax!Happy Baby!

Candles and Chocolate don't sound "yum" at all.
