Fun Christmas Eve












Well, I am getting worse at blogging (only 2 months late!). These pictures are taken during the last 3 weeks that we lived in Puerto Rico. Rick's parents came to stay through Christmas and New Year's Eve and then we stayed in Puerto Rico 1 more week to pack up and get rid of our stuff. We moved to Idaho Falls on January 13th and have been staying with Rick's parents and enjoying and enduring the cold snow!
Rick's mom and dad, sister, and 2 of his 5 brothers came to visit in Puerto Rico on Dec. 22. The next day we took them to our favorite beach, Cerro Gordo. We had a blast swimming in the waves and snorkeling, and relaxing. We also took them to the Plaza del Sol, the mall 1 mile from our apartment. On Christmas Eve, we relaxed at home and got ready for Christmas. Christmas cookies and goodies, nativity, songs, lots of Christmas movies, and the Christmas Eve dinner - Yum! It was so fun to have family there, especially being so far away from home. Rick's family agreed that it was weird having Christmas in 80 degree weather and no snow. But we still had a lot of fun!

That's so nice that you had family for Christmas! I'm glad you had a good time--even if you didn't have snow!

Hey Ashley,

I'm glad you guys enjoyed your last few weeks in Puerto Rico. It really is a beautiful place. I really wish we would have lived closer and get to know eachother a little better.

I wish you and your family the best of luck. I'm glad we can keep in touch through our blogs. My sister lives in Idaho, maybe we can catch up some day. Talk to you later
