No more parties, ok?

That was a recent request by Ethan, our 3 year old. Indeed, we have been to our share of Christmas celebrations this week..... Here are some photos of the latest ones!

Our church leadership (the people in charge of coordinating each of the ministries) gathered for dinner and games on Monday night. It was an excellent time of fellowship although the party did not start until 8:30 and ended around 11:30 at night! Then the next morning at 9:00 am the boys had their school Christmas celebration. Pictured below are their class mates as they sang three lovely Christmas songs.
The week prior to the party the boys were excited to tell us about their adventures in making a pinata by hand at school...but they enjoyed hitting it even more!
Then Tuesday evening all of our Pastors, church planting workers and the missionaries gathered together for an awesome celebration. There is such an incredible spirit of unity amongst everyone....and it was so evident at this celebration. We played some incredible games (led by Andrew and Carol), ate dinner and enjoyed each others company.
Towards the end of the evening Christian played "Santa" as gifts were handed out to each of the families as a thank you for their tireless efforts. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to work with such an incredible group of people!
