Merry Christmas from England

Merry Christmas everyone!  This is our final post of the year and because it would cost a small fortune for us to send Christmas cards to everyone, please let this post serve as our Christmas card to you.  The girls have a couple weeks off of school and Eric has some time off work, so I’m going to take some time off as well so we can concentrate on spending the holidays together as a family.  We’ll be doing some traveling, spending some time hanging out at home, and just general enjoying some rest and relaxation away from school, work and the normal household routine. 

Rest assured that our thoughts are with all of you this Christmas, even though we are thousands of miles away.  We will very much miss being with our family and friends, but this adventure already feels like it is passing by quickly and before we know it, we will find ourselves back at home in the good old USA.  So despite the fact that our hearts long to be in Wisconsin, we are going to do our best to make the most of this opportunity and enjoy every minute of it, and we will continue sharing our adventure with you in the new year.

Until then...

Happy Christmas family and friends.  I am sad I won't see you this Christmas.  Hope you all have a lovely Christmas.  Love, Ellie

Merry Christmas family!  I wish that I could be with you this Christmas.  Hugs and kisses.  Love, Leah

We wish you all a happy, relaxing and safe Christmas and a very Happy New Year.  See you all in 2015!  Love & miss you, the Engebretsen Family
