A story of a family from Michigan, USA who traveled to Egypt for work.....served, laughed, loved....thrived thru the Egyptian Revolution....and then returned to Michigan after the job ended abruptly due to economic conditions.

Christmas Eve 2010

Jasmine gave me a gift she made at school (adorable)


slept in (hooray)

gave the kids 2 gifts (yippee)
one youth sized American football for Joshua
one small youth sized European football for Jasmine
(checked those off their wish lists)


spent 3 hrs at the club (what fun!!)






shopped for fresh chickens for dinner tomorrow (hunted for lamb brisket and turkey unsuccessfully), peeled/mashed potatoes to baked tomorrow with cheese.

went to church for terrific carols together!! but just before.....attempted to get some fun photos.....








Magdy (Egyptian), Robert (Sudanese - helps me with medical runs, etc) and Simon (Sudanese) - these 3 men along with James (not here tonight, seen photographed before) work security and grounds care at the church, we see them daily for recess and enjoy their friendship!!

what's a holiday without trying to cram a cat in the elevator with us after church?
LOLOLOL!
