On December 23, we celebrated our 8th anniversary with a date night to a fabulous restaurant called The Black Pearl. We'd heard they had a wonderful chocolate dessert and we had to check it out. We each ordered a Heart Fountain of Chocolate and it was just delicious! We enjoyed a warm Christmas (about 80 degrees). Lucas and Alexis loved that we opened presents on Christmas Eve because we opened more presents with our families on Skype on Christmas Day. We truly had a wonderful first Christmas here in West Africa! The day after Christmas we visited a small zoo here in our neighborhood. It was a very interesting experience...You can get VERY close to the animals. However, Lucas didn't like it when the gorillas threw rocks at him or dirt at Daddy and Alexis. It cost our family less than $2 for a few hours of memorable entertainment so it was worth it!

Congrats on your Anniversary! & Skye ( along with all the internet gagetry ) are wonderful things, esp. to keep up with our families. We use it quite often ourselves for our grandkids back east. Glad you are doing well & enjoying your stay in Senegal.
God bless.
