Our Children and Christmas




The whole family sure enjoyed Christmas. We had a relaxed celebration and there were no toys with 100 pieces included! We also had no toys labeled "some assembly required." There were lots of books and games and very few things that require batteries.  You'll see both of them sporting new short hair cuts. Don't they look so handsome? 

For decorating the tree this year we had each person hang an ornament and recite something they were thankful for. It was a precious time. Josiah wanted me to know that "...some people have trees that start on the floor of their houses and go all the way  up." I pretty much told him we just didn't have the room for that. He pretty much didn't like that answer...












                       







These are our December update photos of the girls. Geslande is on the left and Joravena is below. They are growing so fast! Sometimes the update phoso make them look sad, but we are positive they are not. It is not customary to smile photos in the Haitian culture. We are blessed to see what looks like an emerging giggle on Geslande's face this month. Joravena looks a bit tired in this month's photo.
