For some reason the waves have been HUGE the past few days...
Emmy kissing Daddy.
waiting for the waves.
this was after a wave- hence the drips-
right after a wave- Daddy saved her :)
Don't you just love this shot! I do :)
one of my new favorite pictures!
we were up on a retaining wall- and look how high the waves still got!
yesterday we saw this cow in labor-
it seems like every car here has something AWESOME written on it
a hawk- what?
our pretty mountains with the men loading plantains.
the house where the mean dogs live- 
and yet more perfect palm trees- I can't get enough of them :)
we started from our house...
then we needed sticks to scare the bad dogs away (seriously)
then hike and hike and hike.
then cross the river,
climb on the rocks and swim in the river...
then dry off and go home!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Jason's Christmas wish was to have Turkey *check! he even craved the bird :)
Emmy's was to be a big kid...
be in a "secret garden" *check!
act crazy *check!
and catch the moon (her most favorite thing)- here are a few failed attempts!
jason loved his presents and used his knife (pictured later)
Emmy EMBRACED Christmas present opening wholeheartedly this year
She even had to be in on the action when I opened my gifts
Emmy loved her ball...
a little elf and her doll!
who needs presents when you have Kleenex?
J got juggling balls (he's quite good) but Emmy loved them most!
it started with nervous introductions...
then curiousity...
then she got braver...
then all of the sudden we heard a catlike yelping...
how excited is Emmy at this moment!
she is again wearing a LARGE outfit- but it's cute!
she's a good little mommy!
kisses :)
playing.
she is so so sweet!
they really do just come out that way!
such a little mouse!
who we saw on the way to our friends' house- check out his beard!
HUGE wave- yes- the water on the electric lights- like that?
