Thanksgiving and Christmas

Abby thought the Thanksgiving meal was yum!

Thanksgiving Crafts

We were blessed this year to have company for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. For Thanksgiving were able to have good friends come to visit. We had a nice, encouraging time with the Wolf's and their "ladies" (as Micah calls them).






This Christmas we had a special treat in that Nana was able to be with us. The boys also appreciated the long distance gifts from Grandma Tricia and Grandpa (Caleb actually shed a tear over his Tim Tebow jersey) and the NFL jerseys from Uncle Rob - do we see a pattern here? Celebrating Christmas overseas has its pluses and minuses. Living in a country where very, very few people celebrate Christmas means that we do not get wrapped up in holiday programs and parties and we are able to spend more time as a family focusing on Christ. We do, however, miss being able to celebrate Christ's birth with other believers in our heart language. This year we did have the privilege of worshiping in another language along with some who, for the first time, celebrated the birth of their savior.
