Day after

Rich left at the crack of dawn to go work on the house. Terry Mecham and he have been working on it off and on for  the past week putting down the hard wood floors. Terry being the boss and Rich the slave. Or Terry the expert and Rich in  training. Nate went to exchange present with Catilin. Who loves to takes things back.

 I put on Neil his Hot August Album and started to clean from one end to the other and sat down to eat lunch. 

A recap of yesterday. A very different Christmas for us. 
We started at Hoa and Thuys. They had waited for us. We had prayer and then presents. Very fun relaxed and organized. They fed us Pho chicken very yummy!! Photos to follow


Then off to Nic and Haileys. Where the cute little monkeys live. We laughed we cried and we swang from the chandeliers.So to speak. Did presents and planned to have them take alicia to The Dallas to meet up with Tuckers family. We took Kennedy with us to visit the rest of the kids.While they got packed up to go to Utah. Kennedy is such a good traveler.

Next was Cuong house. WE once again prayed,  opened presents. and had More chicken Pho. YUMMY twice in a row. We were in Heaven. HAd a fun visit with them. 

Then off to Hai and Kyle apt. A high raise on the 11 floor Down on the water front. We had our first visit with them after they had gotten married on  the 13th of Sept. They are a very happy family. Kasandra is 17 and will graduate from college that is right college this june. Then off to grad school or law school she hasn't decided yet. Jake who is going on two and a very big hand full. He cries and they all come running. He has them all wrapped around there little fingers. He is the perfect King TUT. Very handsome young man. The delight of his Mother, father, and sister. 
We were able to have a very quick chat with Kevin. He is doing good and has 4 months left. He is a Zone leader with that comes more blessings and different kind of missionary work . He has loved his mission and all he has learned while there.
We were able to get home just as it was getting dark. Made a quick snack and I went to bed. I didn't have to plan a meal all day or entertain any one. It was a great day. So who knows what will happen next year. It worked out so well We may do it again. Hope you all had a good Christmas. Love to all

That must have been a very relaxing day for you. And I think its wonderful that you put your children at such a priority that you went to visit them all.
