We managed to soar through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years without even pausing to take a breath. The kids finished their semester just before Christmas and Jeff finished his school year the beginning of December...it was, without a doubt, the busiest 4 months we've had in years. Between heading home on Home Assignment for 6 weeks of full-on "busy" and then coming back to Peru only to start school the day after our arrival, we hit the ground running. Jeff taught 2 classes and I volunteered for various school functions, including co-planning the biggest fundraiser that the school hosts each year. Now that we are well into 2014, well, at least 2 weeks into the new year, we've decided to slow down a bit. We'll see how well we do with that goal...

| I enjoyed being part of a Christmas Bazaar, selling some handmade ornaments, Christmas tags, and other crafts. |

| Packages wrapped in brown paper...I love this! |

| New Year's Eve...fireworks light up the entire city for at least 20 minutes straight! |

We started a new New Year's Eve tradition...grilling pizzas on the balcony and then eating s'mores!
