Merry Christmas!

Yesterday we had the day off for Christmas. We briefly chatted with family back home via MSN, and then headed to a party hosted by some friends. In all over 20 people made it, so it was nice to eat and chat; we even did a Secret Santa gift exchange! We were thinking a lot about our family and friends back home, and were quite grateful to receive some very nice cards and pictures! Thanks again guys!!

Today it was back to work for us (last day for H, B still has to go in on Mon and Tues next week). H did a fun craft project where the kids made snowmen out of toilet paper rolls. They really had a blast with it! 

We're still going to university; our last class is January 12th. We're also staying busy doing Winer English Camps for 3 weeks, starting Jan 5th and getting done on the 23rd. We're hoping to leave for Malaysia/Singapore on the 26th of January and will be gone for 3 well deserved weeks!! (A friend will watch Chomps). 

This Sunday our Korean friend has told us she'll take us to a star observatory in the mountains, so we're hoping for good weather this Sunday!!  We're also planning on going to the East Coast for New Year's. Koreans love to watch the sun rise on January 1st as kind of a good way to bring in the new year, so we figure we'll try it this year also (luckily we don't have uni that day).  Finally, we're planning on meeting up with H's high school friend who lives in south-west korea for ice skating in Seoul next weekend! We've got all sorts of fun planned for the coming days!!

Christmas Day!
