New Years at the Hogar was much more relaxing than Christmas. We watched movies and danced all evening until midnight. Again, the dancing here is insane. The girls, whether they are 4 yearls old or 40, dance like crazy, crazy dance! I cannot even explian it. At midnight we lit sparkles and then sat down together to dine on homemade lasagna, fried shrimp, garlic bread, and tres leches cake. The dinner was amazing and the majority of the kids were still awake to eat and enjoy it. The volunteers then got January 1st off which was lovely because I was still needing to catch up on sleep and recover from Christmas. So we were able to sleep in until around 9 and head to one of the hotels on the beach in Sambo Creek (a Garifuna village about 20 minutes away) where we spent the day by the pool. It was lovely!
I am running late for meeting the other volunteers and have to go. I will write more the next chance I get.
I hope everyone had a lovely and safe New Years.
Happy 27th Birthday Angela (January 5th)!!! I love you!

Seems as if you have been quite a busy little bee Miss Mulkey! We have all missed you! You really missed seeing Nick play in the snow. We shoved him down a small hill in our driveway (loaded up on a garbage can lid!), he was holding on tight and laughed at the bottom! You will be surprised when you see him again. We have just gotten him potty trained (although there are still some small accidents)! Take care and travel safely! Can't wait to see you! Nick will be 2 years old on the 18th. I will tell him his Auntie Mary wishes him well.
Love ya!
Chris
