Good Morals


We teach our kids to SHARE everything. They even share when napping. :)

Christmas Eve at The Manna Project

On Christmas Eve day Evelyn, her daughter Natalia, her nephew Carlos Enrique, and I were busy in the kitchen cooking a special Christmas meal for the feeding center.



The meal consisted of a pork in a heavenly sauce made by Evelyn, macaroni salad, and fruit salad.




Our FIRST Daycare Christmas



The Christmas party for the daycare FeMorZa was on the 23rd. The party started a short time after the kids woke up from nap time. We started with a pinata that wasn't as exciting for the 2 year olds, but the other kids enjoyed it. Then they ate some cake during snack time. The finale was the presentation of the MAGI gifts for all the children. They were thrilled to receive everything--even toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap.











The five year olds opened their gifts first.










Then came the three year olds.










Finally, the two year olds up to bat.










Last, but not least, the babies.





Christmas with the Sunday School Class

On Saturday the 19th, we had our Christmas party with the children of the Sunday school class. We started with food from Pizza Hut as well as homemade banana pudding (which none of them had eaten before--they loved the new dessert). Then we attempted to safely destroy the ever-frightening pinata. Candy from the pinata is worth more than gold to these kids, but they all pulled through without a problem. To finish out the party, all of the students received a MAGI gift from the United States.
