I can't believe it's December! Where has this year gone? We had Thanksgiving here last week. The cooks really put a lot into it to make sure it was special for us. They even made ice sculptures! We had the typical Thanksgiving dinner with Turkey, Ham, Sweet potatoes, more pie then we could ever eat, but most importantly we had fresh fruit and VEGETABLES! It was very exciting!

Things here have been going well. My hand is healing nicely (for those who don't know I broke my knuckle). I included a picture so you could check it out. We've been busy with a lot of helicopters coming in to resupply us before winter sets in full force. The weather here has been pretty nice though. Freezing cold at night then 40-50 during the day. And there is NEVER a cloud in the sky. It's weird to look up and not see them, in fact I didn't even notice until someone pointed it out to me. It makes for gorgeous nights though. The stars here are phenomenal.

Hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to get another post up this week with some more pictures of the FOB. Talk to you all later!
