Good times had by all!

Heading to Boston to pick up Nate!

 

We stopped at a fun diner, our usual stop on our way to Boston, and the owner was excited to give our kids Christmas presents. They were surprised and happy to have new soft Christmas puppies.

After driving in a spiral all the up to the 10th floor we found a parking spot at the Boston Airport!

Hanging out with Nate again! We were all so excited to see him! We saw him last in the capital of Papua New Guinea when we left last year on Dec 24th!

Chicken Lazone together again! Yum!

Nate was happy to drink Donkin Donuts Coffee once again!

Pizza with my parents!

Decorating for Christmas!

 

Eating ice cream and decorating for Christmas is always fun.... licking every last drop out of their bowls.

Yummy mac n cheese... Naomi can't have dairy so I made goat cheese mac n cheese for her for the 1st time and she LOVES it!

GF Blueberry muffins sweetened with coconut sugar, yum!

All ready for our friend Nate to arrive from Papua New Guinea! He is our "brother/uncle" and we will go Christmas Tree shopping with him and finish decorating!
