Mama Rika's Christmas Pics

We got to speak to both missionaries on Christmas day, one via Skype and the other via phone.  The one in Peru was the one allowed to Skype.  His picture was fuzzy and his voice kept cutting out, but it was still awesome to see and hear him.  There was also a rather abrupt ending to his call, slightly short of his allotted time.  The one in the States was able to visit with us for quite a while longer.  We even opened some presents as we chatted with him.  The boys sister Nan (nannying out of state) also was able to Skype us at the same time, so we sort of had the gang all together at once.  All in all, it was a great day, a great family time.

Our tree and Decorators.

A little holiday fun a friend brought to do with us.

Painting the roses red...or something like that.

Nothing like morning hugs!
