Merry Christmas From Seoul!

In the 14 years Russ and I have been married this is the first year I haven't sent out a Christmas card.  I am hoping to get something sent out a little later in 2014, but I still wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

The Saturday before Christmas we ran the Jingle Bell 5K on base.

Just after waking up on Christmas Morning, waiting for dad to read the Christmas story from the Bible.

Reading the Christmas story from the Bible before we opened presents was a tradition in my family growing up that Russ and I have carried over into our home.  Since the first year that we have had children I have waited for the question that has never come up until today when Lucy asked "What is a virgin?"  We quickly moved onto present opening at this point.

Patiently enduring another picture by the tree for mom before opening presents.

The girls left dirt cake for Santa this year.  I don't know if you can see it or not but he wrote "Ho Ho Ho" on the empty plate.  I think he really enjoyed the treat.

Finally!  Present time!!

Sitting in her new chair to open her presents.

Very excited about the One Direction Tour Special book that Santa brought her.  It even had a special message to her from her favorite singer in the group, Harry.

Showing off the awesome Avengers mouse pad the girls got me.  It is under my mouse as I write this post. 

The girls did a good job wrapping the presents.

A Christmas morning tradition-Monkey Bread for breakfast.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.
