So I've talked with most of you already, but here's a quick recap...I had an amazing Christmas! It felt great to be at the orphanage celebrating with the children, and they are the most adorable things you will ever see. Aside from the occasional fighting with each other over who gets to sit on the Yevo's lap, they were all sweethearts. I made the mistake of spinning a couple of them through the air, and suddenly I was surrounded by who knows how many with their arms raised wanting to be tossed around as well. It was a fun, but tiring day. Definately a good workout :)
I spent the rest of the afternoon lounging, napping on the hammock and playing with the kids from across the road. I love kids here, they are SO easily amused.
After dinner we opened gifts from our secret santa; I got a really beautiful painting which I am very excited to hang up when I return :)
A few of us went to the local bar last night and danced around with the locals. Made friends with a girl named Bridget, who is now my new dancing partner for the remainder of my time here :) She's determined to teach me some new moves before I return, so watch out!
Alright, I love you guys and it was really nice to be able to talk to you nuts yesterday :)
Toodles!

Thanks for calling us Bear!
You'll have to show me your new moves... a step up from flopping straight onto the floor i imagine. ;)
Christmas was really nice, but of course everyone missed you. It was nice to be somewhere else for the holidays this time. :)
I love you!
It was so cool to be able to actually talk to you twice on Christmas! We all missed you so much! We'll all be doing Christmas here next year which will be great!
When do you and Lloyd want to have your 'late' Christmas here with us?
Sounds like we should get you a massage for Christmas what with all the frolicing with the kids and hiking and mountain climbing.
The painting you got sounds fascinating. What a cool gift! Pack it carefully with something stiff around both sides and tie or tape it all together so it doesn't puncture or get scratched.
Hope all the advice isn't a pain, but I can't help myself. It's just a mom-thing.
