Christmas Letter

Jeff and I waiting in a taxi in Thailand.

We went hiking along and swam in 7-teired waterfalls in Thailand.

Jeff and I got to sit with and walk tigers at the Tiger Temple.

I am riding an elephant with Jeff's sister. I even got to sit right on top of his head. This elephant was 42 years old!

Hello Family!! Merry Christmas to you all! I suppose with this family blog I don't have to send out Christmas cards. That's a relief, because I haven't even bought any yet! Sorry to those that may have been hoping for one :) Anyways, just a quick note to say that Jeff and I are doing well. We are recovering from post-vacation blues after spending three amazing weeks in Thailand. It certainly was not long enough. I still wish I could be back there. The country is gorgeous, the people are amazing and we had a lot of good quality time with Jeff's brother and his wife who are teaching english out there. The kids there are so adorable! I don't get any extra holidays for Christmas, so it is a quick flight home for four days and then back to work. We are both keeping very busy out here in Calgary. Work never seems to slow down and Jeff heads back to school in March for his final few months of his apprenticeship. I am still playing indoor soccer and just love out. Jeff and I also keep busy with leading youth group and hosting a movie night for the community at our church once a month. All that aside, we still seem to find some time for each other, and for our three crazy animals. I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing Christmas. May God bless you all in the coming new year! Love Jeff and Naomi.
