We had a wonderful Christmas together! We had Josh join us this year for Christmas Eve and for Christmas morning. Josh is a believer from Australia, and he plays for our State basketball team. His very first Sunday in town, he showed up at church. He has a big passion to share his faith and has started a Bible Study with some of his fellow basketball players. The kids just love him, and he's become like family to us. It's a blessing for the boys to have another guy believer (other than Wes) to look up to. We were thrilled to have him with us to celebrate this special day!

| Thanks to the Creek Church, Wes now has his all-time favorite comfortable, "go-to" sweatshirt! He claims its the best ever. |
This year, we ended up stopping in the middle of presents to have breakfast! Our kids were starving, and so they asked if we could put presents on hold so we could EAT! I was a little surprised, but grateful that they weren't so caught up in the "getting" that nothing else could distract them. We also trade names and have each child pick out a gift for that person. It helps them focus on someone other than themselves, as they look and plan for what to get. We included Josh in that fun this year, so that made it extra special! So, we decided to eat and then come back for the gift exchange.

| We had an extra special surprise when we woke up! It's not much, but this is pretty unusual here in Cáceres! It was actually all white when we woke up, but it was still dark. By the time we could get a somewhat decent picture, some of it was gone. :) FUN to have a "white" Christmas, though!!! |

| Down to the last gifts! She was pretty tired by the end. ;) So much excitement in one day! :) |
