I've so much enjoyed reading your blogs about the students and trips and seeing the pictures. I pray for you and your children every day. God bless you and the kids.<br /> Love, Aunt JeannetteAunt Jeannettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766988111877741445.post-79378286780315599912011-12-26T16:50:57.015-08:002011-12-26T16:50:57.015-08:00Great sentiments Elena!

Sitting down together (all four of us finally) for some tasty lobster and then out for some night sledding. You hit the nail on the head with time as the issue we all face here. It's holidays like christmas and thanksgiving that get everyone together despite opposite schedules. That should be the most important part. Perhaps the gifts can be the cherry on top. I have very mixed feelings about this holiday and how it's portrayed these days. Especially after seeing the reactions of the kids from Jimmy Kimmel's terrible christmas present joke.<br /><br />Tomorrow I am duct taping my hockey bag and soon I'll head over to your house to see how much stuff there is I can take with me!! I know there are some kids won't cry when they get underwear as a gift!!! Much love, see you SOON!!!<br /><br />Merry Christmas!!Ally Bataillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339468127872695242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766988111877741445.post-23067760631028853022011-12-25T14:27:10.720-08:002011-12-25T14:27:10.720-08:00Elena, you are amazing and you are having an amazi...Elena, you are amazing and you are having an amazing experience! I am so happy that you got to go back to Rwanda and share yourself again with these boys. What memories you will have and so will they!!! You are right about our Christmas. It is way too commericalized. The real meaning gets lost. Thank you for sharing with us. It reminds of how lucky we are. Enjoy your next four months and I will be following!!! Glad Ally is coming soon. I hope the two of you get to go on some adventures. Merry Christmas.Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766988111877741445.post-731258253359111502011-12-25T14:05:43.392-08:002011-12-25T14:05:43.392-08:00Greetings from Long Island,
