Believe it or not, this was our fifth Christmas together since we've been married! How time flies!! Here's a recap of how we've passed the last four:
1) Christmas in Colorado with Dana's family. A freak Portland snow storm stranded us in the airport for three days, but in the end, we made it out to Denver.
2) Christmas in Newberg with the Sullivans. Dana was working at Wells Fargo and only got the weekend off, so Tom and Carolyn joined us for a weekend of Christmas fun in Newberg, OR.
3) Sweaty Thai Christmas #1. Tom and Carolyn Sullivan were able to join us in Muang Thong Thani, to watch our students' Christmas Eve activities, and then travel around the North of Thailand during our break.
4) Sweaty Thai Christmas #2. Having just returned from a month in the States after being evacuated from the floods, we returned to our apartment in Nonthaburi for Christmas. It was our first Christmas away from family, which was hard, but we were invited over to a friend's house for dinner.
And that brings us to #5: The Return to CO to spend Christmas with the Larsons. It was a full house, as my brother Matt's girlfriend also celebrated with us. We had a wonderful time, even though John had to fly back to KC on Christmas afternoon to be at COSTCO for work the next morning. I can't think of a better way to spend a few days: time with family, playing games, eating good food, watching some movies, and generally enjoying each others' company!

General Christmas morning mayhem. The dog LOVES all the wrapping paper.
