Las Fiestas de 2013

Christmas performance to Burrito de Belen
Christmas Eve the power was cut from 3pm-1am. THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY!!! It was about 108 F. We are trying to stay cool and happy.  

We made a sprinkler out of an old Coke bottle and duct tape!

I'm keeping my feet in super cold water to stay cool.
I omitted the picture of me laying on the tile floor trying to stay cool.
Yes, it is really that HOT! 

Watching fireworks with Daddy 

Wow. Cool. A transformer!!

Yummy and squeaky toys.

Gaby, me, and Veronica.
I am so thankful that they have given us a place in their families.
So blessed!

The best cheesecake in Argentina
(and the only real cheesecake you can find here.....made by Gaby.

Christmas morning.
Zane went on a scavenger hunt finding pictures and scripture from the Christmas story.
We read them and put them in order. 
Scavenger hunt cards

Then Zane let his little sister open her presents 1st.

Cooling down at a friend's pool on a 108 F day.

Too cute! (Isabel -9 months)

Valeria's New Year's Eve spread!

Our elegant New Year's Eve ambiance 

Our beautiful and wonderful hosts, Valeria and Gonzalo.
Thanks for a wonderful night!

Zane and Trini, buddies forever!

The details

I know this is a horribly fuzzy picture but it is the only one that captured Zane and Trini dancing like a princess and prince. Zane told her he would dance like this for just ONE song!! So precious.

Zane's kind of dancing....

Cheers! Chin chin! Happy 2014!

Zane's first sleepover at our house with his buddy Agustin.
They were up until 1:30 am but then slept until 11:30 the next day!!!

Jan. 6th Zane put out his shoes, a bowl of water and a bowl of grass by the door. He woke up to a cool water gun, Angry Birds cards and a huge Angry Birds sticker for his room. The camels ate the grass and drank the water and the 3 kings left a gift for Zane. Happy 3 Kings Day.

We had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays this year. We praise God for the HOPE that He gave us by sending us His son. We love celebrating Jesus' birthday and his life. We did a Christmas advent of the names of Christ this year. Zane learned about 12 of the names that Jesus was given in the Bible. We pray that our children fall in love with Jesus and all that really means. We pray YOU fall in love with Jesus and that He reveals himself more and more to you everyday.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
