Since we are leaving on Thursday, we celebrated "Christmas" on Sunday morning. It was so fun watching the kids open their gifts. We took it slow because they wanted to play with each things as they opened it. We stopped half way through and Shannon made cheese blintzes--YUM! I vote to make that a new holiday tradition. If you're wondering why Maleia's in different outfits throughout the pictures, it's because every time she opened new clothes, she had to stop and try them on.
There were a few international gifts! The kids were particularly excited about the matching t-shirts we brought from VBS in Guatemala City. Jon got some new towels from the Hotel Estrella in Managua, Nicaragua and Stephen received Honduran whole bean coffee to use in his new coffee grinder.
The day didn't end until we had a traditional Christmas dinner with ham, augratin potatoes, green beans, fruit salad and pumpkin pie with whipped cream!
Enjoy the pictures!
Reading the new Christmas books first thing.
Josiah loves trucks and a "MIXER" is one of his favorites.
