Trip Home!!!

We made our first trip back to the US for Christmas.  We were all very excited to go home.  (Although Tom had a business trip to St. Louis in November so he had just seen everyone.)

 We had great flights home.  The kids were so well behaved on both flights, and our flight from HKG to DFW got in 90 minutes early so we were able to catch an earlier flight home to STL.

We had a great time visiting with family and friends over the holiday.  We had a great time in Columbia celebrating Marie's birthday and seeing Aunt Kim's family.  We also really enjoyed seeing Grandma Trudy and Grandpa Harry's new place.  They had fun doing an incredible pinata with Uncle Justin and Lilia.  The kids especially enjoyed seeing their cousins.  They had fun at the Magic House and at Bounce U.  Of course we had a great Christmas and New Year's.

Overall, we had a great trip.  We were sad to leave and are planning on coming home for a longer amount of time this summer so there is more time to see people and go places.  We were glad to see a couple good friends while we were home, but are hoping to see many more this summer.  We are looking forward to having visitors this spring.
