We were truly blessed to have my dad and Kerry Ann come and visit us the last few weeks. It is always great to have family visit us and give them a small taste of what our lives are like here. Here are some pictures of our time together.
I flew to the capital city in our country and met my Dad and Kerry Ann at the airport. Here we are meeting again after a very long time.
Yes, I am on my phone, calling the hotel van they can pull up to the exit, we would be there shortly.
We woke up early the next morning and took a trip to this country's big wall.
Now we have arrived in our small town and are enjoying a local meal together....at least some were enjoying the local meal. :) 
While at home Grandad played some old familiar games......
....and learned how to play guitar hero as well.
Ryan took my dad to see his school,
his dorm and roommates...at least a few of them,
and his classroom where he showed off his writing skills.
On Thanksgiving, we celebrated Hannah's birthday.
Then we headed out to the countryside to visit some friends. They treated us to lunch in their home and a good visit. 
Then the boys took the football to the streets and started up a small game. 
Everyone thought this was most interesting to watch.
Here are my dad and KerryAnn on a bridge in one of the towns we visited. 
After we got home from the countryside we put up the tree, however, sadly, the tree broke. So, with a little duck tape, we think it will hold together for the month.
Hannah and Hudson doing their decorating of the tree. 
And finally, the group picture around the tree before opening Christmas presents together. You will notice we are(almost) all wearing OU clothing, this is becasue we had just watched the OU/OSU game. Of course, Rob and Hudson wear OU shirts almost every day of the year, is that a problem? 
We had a wonderful time seeing my dad and Kerry Ann for this year and were truly blessed to have them come and visit us!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH Alicia, I was about to go into withdrawal!!! I'm so glad your Dad & Kerry Ann got to come, It looks as though their experience was much like ours last year! It's good to be with family on holidays! Next year we'll ALL be together! PTL I'm proud that you are proud of your Oklahoma heritage (even if it comes out in OU form! Thank you!
You have more than just one faithful reader. I guess I'm just more of a lurker or a stalker since I don't often comment! That's what fb's for! :)
Well said, Heather! Made me realize that, I guess, I really AM a stalker when it comes to Alicia's blog!
So one of our Christmas traditions was waiting while my mom rigged the broken Christmas tree to make it last one more year. This happened every year. The duct tape is one more sign that you are really a part of this family.
