Merry Christmas!

Warning: These pics are in a very random order...sorry!
Encounters with my first sea snake! These guys are supposed to be very neurotoxic...I'd rather not find out :)
My friends, Chris and Kayla, visited for Christmas. Shout out to my Missouri girls..."M"!

I learned how to use a weed eater! Be proud Dad!


Kayla and I enjoying our beloved Fig Newton bars...thanks Mom!


After Johnny and June chewed through the wire cage we made them, our neighbor took pity on us and helped us build a real cage. They seem pretty content in their new home :)
This is the typical scene at wedding recpetions. You shake a lot of hands, eat a lot of food, and go home...or go cruising the streets with your elderly neighbors like I did after this wedding. We stayed out until 9:30 pm...party animals!
These are a few of our neighbors that came for our Christmas party. Aren't they beautiful!?

Turkey is a big deal around here! Andi had one imported and cooked a rock awesome Christmas dinner...so good!

Scuba diving on Christmas Eve...we saw sharks!

Christmas cookies!!!

Our Christmas decor. My teammate's mom sent us trees and my Mom sent a homemade stocking. My neighbors were quite impressed with her cross-stitching skills...way to be Mom!

Ran into these sweet little boys at a village I was visiting. They're holding up strings of crickets they caught...a nice mid-morning snack!

Rina, Sukma, and Wida...my girls! Sukma and Wida are attempting to teach me their heart language. I mess it up most of the time, but it's fun to try!
A pic from my friend's village. This part of the island has very little access to water. You can see how dry it is even though this is the peak of rainy season.
