Amen.

We had such a fun Christmas dinner with our friends.  Food, games, gift exchange and lots of laughter!
When we are all so far from family it is a blessing indeed.

Christmas Eve pizza...it's tradition!

Chicken Teriyaki burger = piece of chicken wrapped in egg with delightful garnishes of two seaweed slices.  Yeah, Bob won't ever order this again.  We had to get Magnum bars on the way home to get the taste out of his mouth!

Stopped in traffic by this funeral procession on the road up to our house.

Can you find the tree frog we saw on our waterfall hike?

Crunchy, deep fried crickets and grubs.  Not wanting to be selfish, we left them all for the others at the market that night....
