Christmas loves

I feel a little bah humbug-ish because I haven't updated for so long during this beautiful Christmas season. You all know how it goes. I think of something to write, forget to take pictures, don't end up writing, take a nap instead, etc :) Well, here are a few things I have LOVED about this Christmas time.
I loved my dad's birthday and the fact that he would always quote the Pearl Harbor speech which eventually got me an A in History class. "Yesterday December the 7th..a day that will live in infamy!" (His birthday is Dec 7). We ate at the Garden which had great views and beautiful Christmas decorations. The food was pretty good too. In the past I had never been very impressed.
I LOVED the annual BFF Christmas party! We had Sarah's baby shower right before. I love my girls!!!
I love that my parents will be home for Christmas. They have been helping out all over the world doing neonatal resuscitation training. They just got back from Guyana.
I love that my dad and Rob are in Peru right now doing humanitarian work. My dad is de-worming all the kids and Rob is planting banana trees and building school desks.

Ro: "Heid, you don't have to worry about giving me a present. For my present I want you to donate a banana tree or a desk."

He was so sweet. He was all excited and went around the neighborhood seeing if anyone would want to help out. Him and my dad are now living in a tent with no electricity in the middle of the jungle helping the people of Peru. LOVE this.

I love that I got to hang with 2 of my favorite people in the world in our beloved city of Boston! Or is it Russia? That sure was a coveted Russian hat that night Ang!!
I love that we got to hear the beautiful Choir's Christmas Program and David Archuleta sing. He was absolutely breathtaking!!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
