Colism: “ the word Christmas mom has Christ in it- like the Jesus person.”
Colism: “They go us mixed up – I don’t like legos. I caught that- I do not really like legos. “ ( trying to be nice so he doesn’t lose money from Whining Jars we have)
Colism: “ can we play Wii “ 8 million times a day
School ended with the traditional singing events. Funny because in Africa we did concerts or plays like every week. Here it is rare- ughh.
So we started off with xmas eve at new friends house. Kids did snow ball wars and we all had a great meal. Tracked Santa and left a note. He drank the beer and Rudolph left chili prints. Then we had our own day of presents, presents, more presents. Cole loved the BB gun but birch loved the books.
Left to ski with Mona and Mike and kids in Essex. Great stay. Ended with downhill that the kids were not ready fro after three years in Africa- so some meltdowns and knee injury for mom- but made it home ok.
News years eve we made our own special fancy dinner- china from the wedding and silver from Anne. We had emperors black rice and whole trout for the boys. ( Like in Kenya they said)
New years day lots of outdoor playing, chores, tamales for lunch, and maybe a movie. With no TV funny not to hear USA football in the background.
Missing Africa friends a lot this season- seems like I need a gin and tonic.
