Delayed post due to Internet issues.

 

This year, we had the opportunity to be in Mexico City for Christmas. This was the first time Areli’s family got to meet Zabdi. In Mexico, we celebrate Christmas beginning with a huge feast on the night of Christmas Eve.

 

The family tradition on Christmas is to open presents followed by lunch from the feast leftovers. After that, we break two or three piñatas. Finally, we have a family baseball game. The kids are more excited about this than the food.

 

At this year’s baseball game, there was a special event: Ivan and Anai got engaged during the game. Surprise!

 

Later, we dedicated Zabdi to the Lord before the congregation of Masai Church. We appreciate the continued prayers for her. We are blessed that she has been healthy and growing perfectly.

 

Even though we had a LOT of family fun, we remember that this holiday is ultimately about God sending His Son Jesus into the world to save us from our sins so that we could be with Him forever. May God continue to do his work in you and us as we grow in Him each day.

 

Here is an album of some pictures from the day:
