Nadia went all out to prepare a sumptuous Christmas dinner feast for us. We had a baked ham, dressing, Bolivian corn salad, and a dessert of apple pie and ice cream. Ocean loves Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner fare! It was so funny to watch her eat. We laughed a lot while taking photos. At dinner, we went around the table and said something nice about each family member. Owen was sleepy, but joined us from Costa Rica via FaceTime. These holiday family dinners are so special to Nadia and me. I want to thank her for being the engine that drives our family time.
Ocean, Oliver, and I rode our bicycles along the Ankhor Canal. It was their gift to me, and I happily guilted them into spending time with me. It was a bit cold and gray, but fortunately dry. Conditions were good for biking, with only a couple of patches of ice/snow left. As I write this a couple days later, there is very little snow left from the storms we had last week. You don’t know how many more Christmas holidays we will have with the kids, so savoring the day and time with them.
