cmas eve drinking hot chocolate & eating cookies. Jaime's one true love. Cmas dinner. half the home worked from like 10 am till 9 pm & spent like 20 mins eating it. Jaime watching baby einstein. she's hooked on it. jaime's present. we got her a few baby books in german & a another toy thing from the provisioning. Jaime's first present. Christmas morning in her little bathrobe. She was so cute, trying to rip the paper off. Christmas morning:Jaime eating cookies for bfast. in Doha, Qatar. some important guy arrived & they did this whole marching band thing i didnt get such a good pic of it all, but they had this whole red carpet & stuff set up all cool-like. Jaime was such a hit. everywhere we went even in Switzerland people still stop to goo goo over her. She can walk by herself now, I'm so proud of her. Jaime playing sat the play place in the Doha airport. The Qatar airlines wasn't too impressive- bad service, bad food, & really strict with luggage. at the airport in Cebu we had to dump 25 kilos right there, & the plane was leaving in 5 mins. we dumped so much stuff. ptl. anyways Jaime was an angel during the trip & all the hours we had to wait.
I have the best family in the world. That's not just my opinion-it's true. I don't think anyone else would miss their family as much as me & Arthur miss mine. Course there was those times when they drove me nuts, as all siblings & parents tend to do, but the other part, the love, the fun, the laughs, & the care, makes up so so much more. I haven't traveled the globe extensively & seen every or nearly close to a lot of homes, but i haven't found anyone who cared as much for me & wanted to help me as much as my family, & it's not just because they're my family, because I've seen them give just as much love to others who they were related to as much as my plate of snotty-looking oatmeal. I miss them so much, & all the help they gave me with my baby & the fact that after a long tiring day they weren't afraid to sit back & just chill & enjoy life, which is a dying quality with the run-around-&-see-how-fast-you-can-get-&-give-a-mental-breakdown mentality. i wish i could spend Christmas with you guys, & actually enjoy it, but the Lord has lead us in different directions & i pray he'll lead us together again, cuz your homes always seem to be so cool.
