"My turn to read Mami, my turn!"
Diego praying. Precious, we must get this on video! He also regularly prays for our other Colombian friends, Isaac Diego & Nataly!
"Tatiana, what gift can you give God this year?"As mentioned in previous posts, we read Scripture each night and lit the menora and ended on Christmas day...with the Christmas story and putting the nativity scene together. We also asked the children--"What can you give Jesus this year?" We discussed things that we could do for God and how to show thanks for the things given to us...(presents).
The children each had 2 presents from us and then 1 present given to all of them from us- real simple. I also made them a drum set out of empty boxes (you can see in previous posts).
We ate "Chicken and Dressing," green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls and apple cobbler and/or Jesus' Birthday Cake. And what is real remarkable--I cooked most of it!!! To avoid being misleading let me clarify- the chicken was chicken nuggets (white ribbed meat, mind you!) and the dressing was in a frozen section of Family Foods that only requires warming up! The green beans out of the can with butter & spices; I can't take the credit for the potatoes or rolls...but nevertheless, it was great! It was OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS as a family! Ben also had apple cider warming over the stove throughout the day...
We ended our night in the living room reading scripture and praying. It was a good day!
Season's Greetings everyone!
