Merry Christmas

Our 1st Christmas in Kwajalein. The girls made out all right. Dwayne called and we opened presents while he was on the phone with us. It was really hard on him not to be here with us. He is normally a Christmas Freak. Loves Christmas and decorating but with us being gone he didn't get into the mood at all. It is kinda weird I normally don't get into Christmas but I let the girls go whole hog with the Christmas decorating I even did my office. Amazingly, I even won a $20 gift certificate for the best decorated office. We had decided early on that we wouldn't get a bunch of stuff for Christmas and would wait till we come back for the summer to celebrate all the holidays we missed. Dwayne sent the girls a $100 gift card each and an ITunes card, they got hoodies from all the animals, and I got them a shorts outfit which unfortunately will have to go back since the shorts are to small. Hopefully they have the next size up. :-) I made a honey ham, mac n'cheese, green beans & rolls. It turned out OK. Alyssa even got into the spirit and made an apple pie. It rained all day so we didn't get out of the house but it has turned off pretty today so we will go to the beach and lay out. Dwayne took his Mom to his brothers house for Christmas dinner. They said they had a good time. They had steak & shrimp which Dwayne said was OK cause it didn't really feel like Christmas without the girls. Well hope you all had a safe and merry Christmas no matter where you are.
