During our Christmas Vacation from school Anna and I had a "Girl's Day". We had so much fun together. First we did our nails! Anna picked the color out and of course, we had to match! Then we did our hair to match!


Then we had Quilting time together. I worked on mine while Anna worked on hers.

Then while the guys went out to town together, we decided to make brownies for our men!


Then we sat down to enjoy a "Little House on the Prairie" film together. What a Day!

Merry Christmas Everyone!


We had such a wonderful Christmas day full of family and friends. We spent a wonderful Christmas morning as we read the Christmas story together. It was Caleb's turn this year to read!

What a blessing it was to have a house full of good friends. We even had a couple of very special guests that joined us on this special day. Jill and her husband Pat were here in Ukraine adopting a little 3 year old boy. Pat needed to leave early so Debbie, Jill's Pastor's Wife came to be an encouragement to Jill. What a blessing it was for us to have them with us.

Here is a picture of the adults as we sat down to eat Christmas dinner.



Then to end the day we were able to see my family on skype! Even though we were unable to be together for Christmas this year, the Lord made it possible for us to see each other. How wonderful it was to see the faces of the people that mean so much to me. I am just sorry that we were unable to get a hold of the Hess side of the family :( That would have made our day complete. Praise the Lord we were able to talk with Tony's parents on skype a couple days later.
