It was the first time Edil was not able to join us for Christmas as he had to work (no choice – either the 24th or the 31st, and we knew he wouldn’t miss the 31st celebration in his side of the family for anything. It was the first New Year they will all be together (80%) after five years. His parents are home and two of his brothers from SG came home too). So, I tried to make it fun and happy for the kids. Good thing it really was fun and happy for us as it was our first time to celebrate it differently and with very special people.

Santa came! (Literally. My Dad came in costume and dropped off presents (nope, not in promotional bags)! The house was dim and the kids were in the middle of the room. Martha was telling me Santa gave her a present the whole night and even told Edil when he came home Christmas morning).

I’ve got more writing to do – but that would be left for our albums. Let the pictures speak for itself though
