Christmas week
We've had an activity-packed week here in Delaware and are now counting down the rapidly-diminishing days until our departure on January 5. Some of the highlights have included Christmas caroling with the church (the girls both loved that), spending lots of time with my siblings, and the arrival of most of my dad's brothers and sisters.
Our immediate family opened gifts on the morning of the 24th after spending the night together in the cabin.
That evening the whole family got together. Here are the 8 cousins in their pajamas.

The excitement of the gifts...
And of course we've spent a lot of time eating delicious food - like make-your-own pizza.
We'll stay in Greenwood through New Year's and will then return to Ohio for a few days before flying back to Thailand. We'd certainly appreciate your prayers as we go through this next week of goodbyes, travel, and transition. Thanks!
