Christmas parties...

We recently had our second annual "American-style" Christmas party at our International Church. A great time was had by all, especially McKenna, Philip, and Claire...Some even tried to say that I rigged the "cake walk" when all three won presents!

I also wanted to share some pics from our company party...God has blessed us with some incredible friends here and it is so nice to have a "family" here while we are seperated from our family in the States. Two of our co-workers...Doyle and Karen read the Christmas Story and we sang hymns and carols intermittently while the kids lit candles. Then one by one, they put the candles out until there was one left...this one referring to "the Bright and Morning Star"...God's Son, Jesus Christ!! It was a real special time and the kids really enjoyed it!
