Christmas 2008

After a snowy start and a missed connection, we finally made it to Atlanta and celebrated Christmas with the Strydom and Quint families. Karina loved spending time with everyone, especially with her cousins and Jesse, Nikki, Aries and Tigger (the pets). It was a great trip. We spent new years with friends on the beach and are heading back to reality (work) tomorrow.



After I had cleaned the car and shoveled (with a garden hoe :) we don't own a shovel and usually don't need one)...this was the night before we left for Atlanta.


More snow...


Hanging out with Oupa and Matthew.


Playing with Ouma and Emilija.


Getting a big hug from her cousin Jonathan.


Learning about fish at the aquarium with her cousin Daniel.


Waiting patiently for something on Christmas eve.


Sitting on Emilija's lap, who is sitting on Rinus' lap.


Not a big fan of posing for pictures...but here she is with all her cousins.


Here they are again, waiting for Santa...


Playing around with Daddy before going to bed on Christmas Eve.

Karina had fun with everyone, but was very happy to be home :)
