Merry Christmas! 2009

We had another Christmas in Bangkok – a warm, balmy day, quiet neighborhood (lots of people go home for the holiday) and, of course, a visit from Santa! We had a pretty quiet celebration this year – church on Christmas Eve, lots of excitement throughout the night (kids started coming into our room and asking if they could go downstairs at 2:45am – then 3:10, 3:50, 4:20, 4:50 am – finally we just gave up and all headed down at about 5:00am – still dark outside!) Thank goodness, even with all the up and down kids all night, Santa did make it to Bangkok! The big hits of the year were roller blades for the kids and Rick, and a neat Thai rain drum table for me!
