Alyssa and I went hiking with Christian the second to last weekend before he left. It was freezing but so beautiful! And this is Christian being silly.
We got to go on a couple pretty good dates in December. We went to Luminaria with the Henlines and it was amazing. The gardens with Christ in them were touching. Then we were able to go and see A Christmas Carol at the Hale. It's our favorite and we felt lucky to be able to go!
Just lighting the world!
Grandma sent us a charcuterie board from Chris.
Then we had our Christmas celebrations before Christian left. We had our big dinner, opened crackers and watched Christian grow up on the blog. The Coynes came over to drop off a package and his friends came over as well to say good-bye.
At the airport. I kept it together pretty good but it was a lot harder than I ever thought it would be! But I had so many people reach out me, it was nice.
This kid looks so different! It's crazy to me how much he's changed in 2 months.
Safe Arrival in Sacramento
Christmas! It was weird to keep celebrating because it kind of felt like we had already had Christmas. But we had Christmas Eve at the Pagnanis with soup and presents. Then we woke up and opened presents and spent the day playing video games and eating junk food until we went and watched Wonder Woman. Christian was finally able to call and we talked to him for 2 hours. He has been busy teaching (he's already had 10-20 lessons, a couple in Hmong and some Hmong phone calls), serving at a farm, delivering cookies, calling people and he said lots of meetings! haha
But it's okay cause I love my girls!

I don't think Christian was being silly he was trying to blend into the forest on your hike. really good pictures and your right Christian has turned into a really handsome young man just like his dad. I'll bet it was just as hard for him as much as it was for you when he left, being home sick is weird.
