We only stayed about a half hour or so. They all hugged us and told us “salamat po” and took our hand and touch the back of it with their forehead – which is a significant gesture of respect and gratitude (plus it allows some of our “wisdom” to flow into them).

What a memorable Christmas! They do all look excited to see you.

Yeah!!! Dad taught them the Eskimo song - LOVE it! Brings back many memories....You'll have to teach us the Shark Attack song when you get back.

Mom, what's the title of the story you read? I don't think I've ever heard that one.

You two are the best ever!!!!
