Family time in Kenya!

Hannah and Cora arrived in Nairobi on December 21st, and Rebecca and Jon flew in on Christmas Eve. Our house was full and busy for two weeks and we loved every minute! We enjoyed some quiet time together at Christmas and New Year's, and celebrated with some friends throughout the holidays, as well. It was an absolutely blessed time and we are full of gratitude and thanks for our wonderful family.

Elephants and giraffes in Nairobi...

We couldn't let Jon have a trip to Kenya and miss out on the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphange and the Rothschild's Giraffe Centre. Both places are working to preserve endangered species and DSWT is one of our favourite organizations. While there, we adopted another elephant and shared some special moments with the little ellies. Of course, we also couldn't pass up on giraffe kisses...  

Crescent Island, Hell's Gate & Mount Longonot...

During our family Christmas holiday, we visited three favourite spots around Lake Naivasha: Crescent Island, Hell's Gate National Park and Mount Longonot. It seems we're making the rounds of our favourite Kenyan spots so we can enjoy them one last time, especially in the company of our wonderful kids!

On safari in Samburu...

We were so excited to take the girls and Jon to Samburu this Christmas, and we had a wonderful time at Elephant Bedroom tented camp. The animals were plentiful and the scenery was beautiful; the company was even better.
