THAILAND!!!!!
A WONDERFUL, CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL, ABUNDANT PLACE TO BE!!!!

Below: Hannah has eaten everything under the sun here in Thailand (and so have we!!!). Ice cream and french fries has been the staple meal since we arrived. I'm not sure how we are going to handle living in America for six months....we might all be as big as a house by the time we leave there. It's almost like we don't know how to control ourselves...ha,ha...

Below: Hannah's first taste of 7-Up...ha,ha.. Her face would just crinkle up like this...it cracked us up....what a silly willy.

Below: It's been so difficult these days to get a picture of Hannah smiling, or standing still long enough to get her to smile....that's why I love this picture below. She has the funnest smile....for such big brown eyes, they sure get small and squinty when she smiles (just like momma).

Below: Mexican food....yum!

Chaing Mai Zoo
We took Hannah to the Zoo when we first arrived in Chaing Mai....and she looooved it! She had so much fun in the Aquarium part of the zoo...she just kept saying "oh, wooooow!"

Below: Pretty good looking Santa, huh? He's a merman Santa. We were pretty amazed at all the Christmas decorations we saw. Even the fish tanks has Christmas trees in them!

Below: The highlight of the zoo for all of us was getting to feed the giraffes! I couldn't believe they let us do it....it was sooo much fun! Hannah thought they were so funny, but was a little freaked out by their extremely long tongues.

Where's Hannah's pants???
Hannah's diaper exploded at baggage claim....praise God it was there and not on the plane! We were able to get our bag and get out a new pair of pants for her after about a 30 minute wait...so she just ran around the airport in her diaper...the Thai's thought it was great!

Christmas in Shillong
We had a GREAT Christmas this year!!! We had a party for our neighbors, who were not believers. They came and were able to hear testimonies from other Indian believers and songs in Hindi, and the wonderful Christmas story. It was soo wondeful!

Above: Hannah's outfit for christmas was in box from America that didn't arrive (sorry, Nana and Amber). So, I was wondering what I was going to put Hannah in...I found her first year outfit (0-3month outfit)....and it still fit her!!!! Of course the shirt she is wearing is really supposed to be a dress...but I put some cute little sparkly jeans on her and her little Christmas hat...and she was as cute as button! But, it definitely showed how small our little one is...that her 0-3 month dress would even remotely fit her!

Below: Christmas morning we had presents for our family downstairs--it was so much fun for the girls to open presents. Usually, here, they don't have the tradition of opening presents (which is great!)....however, we truly wanted to get each of them something...it was so much fun.

Below: I thought it would be great to get Hannah a Barbie...well you can see what she thought about that! She instantly wanted to pull off her head! : )

Below: We think Hannah might be a little on the tom-boyish side...the ball was more exciting than the Barbie.

Below: Christmas Eve Baptism is our backyard.

Below: Pics from the party. Our house helper boldly shared her testimony...we were so in awe of her and her boldness!

Above: This little Nepali man spoke a little about his father's testimony as a believer. He felt the urge to proclaim Christ among all the neighbors by singing a song his father used to sing. We think his father was in the Gorkha regiment with Nathan's grandfather in Burma, WWII....pretty amazing that his son is our next door neighbor...small world.

Above and below: do you get the picture about Hannah being a little on the tom-boy side? Kicking balls, fixing daddy's motorbike...I'm going to have to buy this girl some more bows and dolls! However, the above pic does make this soccer girl proud!
