Christmas Vacation Came to an End

During the holidays, we were treated to many different Indian dishes. We were invited to Cristal's apartment for lunch. It was fabulous- they cooked some dishes that were not so spicey for us! ha!These next two photos are so funny. The girls started looking through our wedding album and I told them I had my dress upstairs. They wanted to try it on. So, first photo is Bhagyashri trying on my dress. The second one is of Cristal. She is holding the picture of Drew on our wedding day because she said she was in love with the 14 year ago Drew- ha!
New Year's Eve- we shot fireworks and celebrated at midnight! The girls were spending the night with my parents- they had all six grandchildren! Riddhi on far left is Bhagyashri's cousin and just arrived in the US to begin school. They had never celebrated an American New Year before.
New Year's we ate at my parents and they got dressed up in traditional Indian attire. They brought one for me to wear as well. Kalie got to borrow a top of Bhagyashri's.

Okay, most of you do not know that my dad has a skeleton in his office at home. This was the skeleton that he learned on in college biology classes. When his university remodeled the science building (built a new one) my dad got to get this skeleton. Anyway, "Oscar" we decided needed to be festive. Here he is in his Christmas finest.
I love their smiles...
My dad is singing Jesus Loves Me with Karlee and Kate. They have pinecones for microphones.
My mom and I took a crazy picture
We woke up New Year's Day with Rooby very sick. We ended up spending several hours in the emergency vet clinic while she got iv's ,etc. It could have been so much worse if we had waited much longer so we are thankful. The next day, she laid with Kalie all day in the bed and Kalie just laid there and took care of her. Khloe has been wanting to learn to sew. We made this pillow together- she did a great job!On Bhagyashri's last night with us, we gave her a true American treat- Krispy Kreme doughnuts! She had never had one and before she got back home, she had eaten two! ha!
We have had a laid back holiday and it has been wonderful! Now back to school and work for everyone!
