Catherine and Caroline playing before bed one night. The both had had their tub-tub and were in their PJs. You can see the beautiful hard wood floors in our new house (but almost always requires slippers).
Here Caroline is on Boxing Day posing for the camera. We took a day trip to Punakha and visited the oldest Zhong (Buddhist monastery) in the country. I believe we traveled 80km to get there and it took us about 3 hours! We were on windy, windy roads up and then down the mountain. I felt a little queasy and Catherine lost her breakfast. :(
We woke up New Year's Eve morning to our first snowfall in YEARS! What a beautiful sight on the mountains. Unfortunately, it was ALL gone by mid day-but the town still took the day off. Yep, the first snowfall of the year is a national holiday!
We had a lovely Christmas day brunch at the Taj Tashi hotel in town. We enjoyed omelettes, waffles and roasted turkey! I think liked the chocolate muffin the best (it still be seen on her plate!) and the waitstaff chased after Caroline so Dave and I could eat together (what a concept!).
This little tub is the perfect size for our little monkeys! They love climbing in there and getting cleaned up together.
Another shot of us in Punakha. You can see the Zhong behind us. The backpack i bought from friends in Dhaka before they went back to the US has been awesome! (thanks Henry and Elizabeth!) I really like carrying Caroline around in it.
Christmas morning. We told Catherine to expect a 'lean Christmas' but she did not seem to care as she grinned opening her stocking and seeing lots of little goodies like this pen and candy cane.
We tried to make up the lean Christmas by splurging on this great Gingerbread house purchased at the Taj Tashi bakery shop.
