We had a unique Christmas this year. I wouldn't ever choose to be away from my family during the holiday season but we did manage to have a good time. We tried to incorporate everyone's holiday traditions into a week of fun. We baked and decorated cookies, opened presents that the WET team brought from our families, and had a hot chocolate bar. We ate so much food it was crazy. We had two gift exchanges with our team: one with a two dollar gift (100 rupees) and one with a good Secret Santa present. Stephen got a box full of 100 rupees worth of bananas which I personally think is the most hilarious white elephant gift ever. Get excited too because we got a Wii!! Stephen did not know about it so it was a huge surprise!! We are still searching for a transformer so that it will not blow up in India's weird electricity but we can not wait to use it!! I'm sure we will have hours and hours of fun - I'm thinking that we need to do a team golf tournament sometime soon!! I do not prefer being away from my family on the holidays but we were blessed with another great Christmas.

We too had a good Christmas even with a few missing pieces. We had lots of good times playing games, matching pajamas, playing games, watching Hannah,playing games.... I would not choose to have my children half way around the world....literally, but I am very, very proud of you. Love you all so much!
You hate bananas!!
