A Costa Rican Christmas



A Costa Rican Christmas for the Smiths was relaxing and sweet. It consisted of time with Nanc and her dear friend Susan. Good food and drinks made by Morgan. Skype time with friends and family in the US. Some generous gifts from Nanc for us and a few more for Myles. Lots and lots of Elmo! It also inspired me and Myles to start some art projects. He's been a huge fan of stickers for a while, so we've introduced scissors, glue and paint.



It was nice not to get caught in the rush of Christmas this year. We didn't buy any gifts... not even for Myles. (All were provided by Nanc and a few from Susan.) But I do look forward to next year when we can afford more things for him and see his face when he has new toys to indulge in. And I also look forward to spending time with my sisters and father. It's been 4 year since I've spent Christmas with them.
