We had a different Christmas this year. No snow, no extended family, no cold. It was about 100 degrees on Christmas Day. The air conditioning was cranking out cool air, and it was green and sunny. And humid.The kids had a good holiday, I think. Chris got an electric guitar, Sam, a pair of R/C helicopters, Marcus, an Eye-clops, and Noah, an Optimus Prime voice changing helmet. We now have the potential to be twice and loud as before, and that’s a hard thing to accomplish, with all four boys home for the summer (winter to you all in the Northern Hemisphere) break. They also got video games, DVDs, clothes, new swimming suits and more toys. After we opened the presents it looked like Hurricane Noah had gone through the inside of the house. We are so thankful for the gifts and food and candy that we received from our family and friends in the United States…it really made our holiday much nicer.
We were a bit homesick, it was weird not to share the day with everyone in the family, and we are strangely missing the cold weather and the snow. We did however, get to go swimming. That's something we won't get to do every year.
We're going to Buenos Aires tomorrow, for the new year. We have decided to be adventurous and drive...I'll let you know how that goes.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
