Yemeni Christmas

It's time to fill everybody in as to what we've been up to the last couple of weeks. We had a lovely Christmas with the Carroll/Boone clans forging a new family for the holidays. Maybe we could be called the Booroll's....hmmmm. Anyway, we did the usual get up, go to Arabic lessons, read the story, open presents, eat lots of chocolate kinda stuff. (Rememeber that song "Which of these things is not like the others?") We were grateful for our advent readings to keep us focused on the reality of the season because it's so easy to become detached when no one else sees a reason to celebrate. Thanks so much to everyone for sending cards, emails and packages ~it was very encouraging. We were especially thankful to be able to speak to our families on the 25th. We hope that your Christmas was just as merry as ours was!.
