Christmas 2007

This year for Christmas we were able to enjoy a visit from Josh and Joanna and also Jeff's youngest brother, John. It is always a blessing to be able to share the holidays together with family.

Because of our trip to Argentina, Tori and Tyler only took off a few days of school during the Christmas season (they were trying to get caught up on their school work). However, the time that they did take off from school was very appreciated...by students and teacher!

Iglesia Bautista Peninsular "produced" a nativity drama and all of the primary aged children in the church were angles (We wont disclose what CATEGORY of angels!). They sang several songs and did a great job of looking adorable.

Christmas day we celebrated the advent with Jeff's family. We were so thankful that it wasn't overly hot. (For those who aren't familiar with the heat here in Merida, every Christmas we pray for a cool, cloudy day.) Actually, it was such nice weather, that we were able to sit outside and enjoy our meal. Of course, that morning TnT were able to open their Christmas gifts up and then Jeff and I spent the rest of the day trying to figure out how to put them all together and get them working for the kids! All in all, we had a nice holiday.

For those that sent cards, gifts, and made telephone calls...THANK YOU! You helped to make our holiday season a little extra special.
