Chris is having a hard time adjusting to being back in the States. He still has jet lag and comes home from work to just crash. Amber tucked him in on the couch and gave him her stuffed animal. This picture was taken on Tuesday evening.
He brought us gifts from India. All the girls got pretty scarves. He also brought some spices to cook with and some Chocolate from Switzerland.
Jared's one request was some Indian art. Chris couldn't find any at the market, so one of the guy's sons let him have a piece from his personal collection. It's in 3D too!Monday 13th - Homeschool Christmas party

So much fun stuff! Are you home free now, do you get to stay in and enjoy the warmth of your house? We just have a few more activities until we're done. School is out Friday - yay!
Looks like so much fun! Love the scarves...they're beautiful
The armchair travels to Europe took us about a week to complete. By the way, we did an armchair travel to India a year or so ago, and made some really yummy food. We used the cookbook in the children's section of the Radford library. Barry says the naan tasted almost as good as the stuff he ate in Afghanistan....so I'm sure Chris will think it's okay, but not as good as the real deal too.
Ohh, have fun finding a good recipe for the spices. I love the colorful scarves, maybe we'll have to get together for another armchair travel to India.
