Luckily my family "took off" the 25th from Christmas craziness and we had a day to work around the house. It was actually very nice to not have to do something that day. That evening we ordered in Chinese and went to see a movie. How American are we :) It was actually one of my favorite days of break. We relaxed and enjoyed each other and that is just fine with me.
I got a new camera for Christmas..yeah!! (All my blog pictures since November have been stolen from various friends' computers).
My two and a half weeks home were so so great. It was just what I needed after a crazy first semester of teaching overseas. I don't think I realized how much I missed my family, friends and life in the States until I was actually there after a 5 month absence.
Here are just a few highlights of my trip...
(Melody, I totally stole some of these from your facebook. I guess I am still in the habit even with my new camera.)

(I have decided that my family needs to take more pictures...)

Thank you for all your prayers for safety and transitions as I have been traveling back and forth!
Peace and Blessings,
