Sophia's Christmas highlight



Sophia got a tricycle for Christmas!! She loves it, especially the bell.

Family Christmas Time





For Christmas morning Bo decided he wanted homeade cinnamon rolls, so Summer got up early to make them. They were so good that we decided this should be a Christmas tradition for us on Christmas morning. The girls enjoyed all their new presents. Thank you to all the family that sent gifts for us. We really enjoy that.

ESL Tibetan Christmas party


I teach three Tibetan ladies ESL every week. For Christmas I invited them to my home for a meal and to listen to the Christmas story. They speak no English so through my and Bo's attempts to share and through listening to a CD with the Christmas story they heard the message. Pray for these ladies as they hear and understand more about what I try to teach them every week.

Tibetan Christmas Party





Christmas Party: We held a Christmas party in our home for four very close Tibetan families. We wanted them to know the real reason for the season. We played Christmas Pictionary, Hot Potato with a Yak, and sang Christmas songs. Bo read from a children's book the Christmas story and asked questions afterwards. The children seemed to really understand that we celebrate the birth of Christmas for Jesus' birthday and not for Santa Claus. They asked many great questions. We had a wonderful time together and had lots of good American style food for them. Bo grilled some steaks and I made all the side dishes. The kids really enjoyed the cupcakes.
