For those who do not know we came home for Christmas to surprise our families! It has been an wonderful wonderful trip. We had my cousin pick us up from the airport with her new baby (well not new new, I just hadn't met her yet!). We ate some good ol junk food then went to her apartment to shower and change. We surprised the families by we telling our Dads so they could try and gather all the fish in the sea (our siblings) to a Wednesday night church service at my parents chuch in the city. Katie walks in with two Christmas cards with our ticket stubs in them and hands them one to each mom. Of course my Mom puts it down to help get the baby out of the car seat untill Marki points out the tickets. My Mom opens hers and says "There Comming!?" Katie says, "I think theres a date" and Marki yells, "there here!!!" My Mom almost wailing, "There here?! Where?!" as we walk in... yes tears followed.
Bryan gave a short video presentation before the church service started. After church we all paraded to my parents house were we continued with the laughing hugs stories and eventually bed, it had be a long 40 hours.
Oklahoma has not been to hash on us, it has been in the 50s to 70s almost the whole time! We are surprised, we even got a good ol thunder and lightning storm with the tornado warnings going off on night. Oh, Oklahoma, if you don;t like the weather stick around it will change shortly!
Between Christmas Eve and Day night we visited five homes for all the family fun traditions we could cram in... The days after I came down with a head cold and alot of my family with other bugs, it has been sad. But we all get to sleep and watch movies! Anyway, New Years we are with more family then soon back to Africa where we are about to move, and have new jobs and well lots to look forward to!
I will post pictures soon!
Happy New Year to All!
