Christmas and Goodbyes

Last year we pulled off the biggest surprise ever for our families and made it home for the holidays. So this year made our first Christmas in India. We had a wonderful time celebrating our Saviors birth with dear friends and fellowship.

We were able to go to a Christmas Eve service. There were no duck sweaters involved, but we did enjoy the service filled with carols and the true Christmas story!

And even though we kept things super simple this year we realized that Santa keeps very good records.... He even found us in a different country and living with friends!

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch with our sweet friends, who have all become like family to us. Together we prepared a feast! I think we might have had more sweets than anything else... that's when you know it's good :) It totally redeemed the fish with eyeballs and noodles we had for Thanksgiving.

It was a perfect way to spend our last full day in India.

I vividly remember a day when I thought two years could never go by quick enough, and now it seems like they've just flown by! It was hard to say goodbye two years ago to family and friends in the states, and now it's hard to say goodbye to our friends we are leaving behind in India. We love our Indian family, and already miss them like crazy!

This is the sweet family that adopted us. We've been living with them the last 6 weeks :)
