Christmas Happenings!!

We are so thankful for how well everything has gone this past week! We know we can make plans, but it’s Dad who carries them out! Haley shared the Christmas story with 4 classes at Kylie and Caden’s preschool, then we had different parties with friends and neighbors on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We actually have a last minute one tonight to wrap up the party week

Here are some pics to help you envision the faces, the laughter, the yummies, and Christmas in Asia! Thank you so much for those of you who sent things to help these parties be such a hit! Thank you for lifting us up this past week! His name was shared at each one, we trust seeds were planted, and He will continue to work in hearts! We are so thankful for these friendships, and that we are able to work here!

First of all. . . Merry Christmas from us!
