Our Christmas

The Christmas fun began with a Wall family tradition of sugar cookie baking with Josiah and Abi. It was nice to have some help from the "big kids", not sure we would have made it through the mess and the sprinkles if it wasn't for their help. We then had fun delivering all of our cookies to our neighbors, who think sugar cookies are one of the strangest things they have seen.


We continued the baking fun with a Happy Birthday Jesus cake.


On Christmas Eve we celebrate with all our teammates. Christmas is celebrated here at 12am the night before with lots of fireworks. So after a bad experience last year of trying to sleep while the rest of the country partied, we decided to join along with them this year and entertained ourselves with games and wii until 1am.


The next morning we were up early with the little ones to open all our Christmas goodies.


You know you might be a missionary kid if you favorite gift of the year is your new suitcase which you can not wait to try out in the airport.


Ellie enjoyed opening all the gifts as well and got a new friend, Millie, to play with.


Here we are after skyping with our families and eating lunch, we got to sit around and relax (still in our pjs) and enjoy our new gifts.



Happy New Year!
