Returning Home to a Huge Surprise!

After 11 days (that went by all too quickly!) in Bali, it was time to return home to Jakarta. Upon arrival at our house we were in for a big surprise: CHRISTMAS PRESENTS from Ma and Pa. The ever so wonderful Ma & Pa had brought us a bunch of presents when they came to visit us in October and we safely hid them away from Jake and Bella until the holidays. It was a great way to officially end our trip.

Bella, Jake and Icha smile before boarding our plane.

Another gift... what could it be?


Bella's favorite present: a book with lots of pictures of her daddy from when he was a kid. Here she laughs at a picture of an incredibly stylish & hip Mark from when he was 5 years old.


Jake LOVED his first spinning top!


The next day Bella got right to work on coloring her Alaska felt coloring page.
