From Thanksgiving to Christmas...I guess that not many "blog-worthy" events have gone on in between there. We did get out and take some family pictures, though, so that is "blog-worthy" enough for me! We are enjoying a quieter December here than usual for our family. Yesterday and today (Christmas Eve and Christmas) have been just the 7 of us for the first time ever. It's a good thing there are plenty of us here to make it seem like a party, huh? It is fun to see the kids growing up, and becoming more conversational than before. Some of them are more "converse-y" than others (that's a new word, just for you, Kari)! We are enjoying many Slovak treats as our Slovak friends have brought cookies and coffee cakes to us...different than American Christmas goodies, yet still delicious! However, I do still miss all of those peanut butter and chocolate delicacies (you know, the buckeyes and the ones with the Hershey kisses, and the homemade Reese's bars...) that I always snagged off of every Christmas cookie tray that I saw! If any of you have any of those still hanging around, freeze them for me and someday I will come over and give you huge hugs for saving them just for me! :-)
We all hope your Christmas is filled with the best of family times, fellowship, and the making of great memories, as you celebrate the wonderful birth of our Savior and Messiah! Thank you to so many of you who went the extra mile to mail your Christmas cards to us over here! It is so fun getting those cards out of our mailbox and catching up with you and your families, knowing that you took extra time (and spent the extra postage) to be sure they got to us across the ocean!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2011 to all of you!
