Holidays

Merry Christmas and Happy 2015!

We enjoyed a few low key days over the Christmas holidays.  We hosted a family of 7 who are currently living in Chittagong for language study.  It was fun to have them and so many other guests who visited for the holidays this year.  We played games by the fire, ate lots of chocolate and cheese straight from North America, went on elephant rides, played sports, and rang in the new year with an annual jump in the pool.

Missed ya family and friends back home!!


Our guests helped make our house more cheery with a decorated tree and lights

Dark chocolate Jon bought for me online (carried in luggage of guest from US)

Christmas party with Dejongs, both our staff and their families

Christmas morning service at nearby village church.  Celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Boxing Day Activity - Elephant rides for all in MCH's back yard (Hollywood Bowl).
   
We were all very impressed to watch him smash and pierce open coconuts and tuck snacks in the gap between his tusk and trunk to save for later.

Happy Birthday Jon! Thanks to Meghan for the delicious gf chocolate cake!

Pool Jump - Round 2 (missing a few)
