As we strive to keep the focus on Christ during the Christmas season we decided to bake a birthday cake for Jesus and have a birthday party. The kids loved it and we enjoyed the delicious cake. Christ deserves all the honor and glory, not only on His birthday, but every day!
We celebrated Christmas this year in NC! The boys loved all their presents. Nathan loved his science kit that lets him do experiments; Anthony loved his V-tech electric alphabet game; Noah enjoyed the empty boxes mostly, but also his shopping cart with play groceries he can push around! It was a great family time although we missed our family in KY and the DR! 
We actually celebrated it twice - one time as a suprise at the church Christmas party at our good friends house and again with the family on the actual day! It was so fun - cake, Mexican food, singing, attending a Walk through Bethlehem at a local church, and being with family! The best!
We celebrated Nathan's 7th birthday with an all-boy party at Chuck E. Cheese. He loved it and loved playing all the games with his friends. Of course, Chuck E. Cheese showed up and led us in some dancing and shouting. We are so thankful for our big boy Nathan! 
Amaury was able to mix a little pleasure with work on his recent trip to Spain for 11 days. He got to explore a lot of the country, visit missionaries, and see what work the Lord is doing there. It was exciting and challenging at the same time. Spain is a beautiful country, but full of people who need to hear about Jesus.
