'Twas the days after Christmas and all through the apartment...

Merry Christmas, everyone! Our First Christmas went off without a hitch! We had a wonderful Christmas Eve Dinner:


I made Chicken Florentine--chicken stuffed with a cream cheese, spinach mix-- and it was delicious (I smell a new tradition coming on). After dinner we watched Christmas movies and munched on caramel corn and muddy buddies from Aunt Kay. (mmmm.... we are rationing it so we can enjoying it as long as possible!)

In the morning we made lots of breakfast! Spinach quiche, sweet potato pancakes, pumpkin bread muffins.... you can imagine the sugar crash we experienced later that afternoon. We opened our gifts and enjoyed the quiet morning. One of the best things about Korea is the still, calm mornings. You never wake up to rushing winds, or harsh weather...that might come later in the day...but the mornings are always so quiet and still. This is the Land of the Morning Calm you know... ;) Oh, did I mention Chris gave me diamond earrings! They are beautiful! I wore them with my PJs all weekend! He also wrote me a beautiful poem in his hand made card. I am the luckiest!


I hope everyone had a happy healthy holiday! And remember, the reason for this season: God LOVED us so much, that he gave his ONLY son for US, so that we wouldn't perish but have eternal LIFE!" Happy Birthday, Jesus! ;)

Marie, Chris is spoiled with your cooking!

Sounds like you guys had a good Christmas. We enjoyed your Christmas card and got one from Chris' mom too, with another little update.

Have a great week!
