Christmas pictures

These pictures were taken at our candle light service for Christmas.

We a Christmas meal with all of the missionaries here in Autlan. It was a big group as you can see, with other family members visiting during the holidays. This picture does not include not many of the 11 kids as well.

The girls love Elizabeth. They never keep the clothes on their dolls either.

First thing the girls opened was their stockings. Candy, Candy, Candy. What were we thinking? Every time you looked, Lillian had a new piece of candy in her mouth.



Opening presents on Christmas morning.

Lillian finally got a new bike so she can ride like the big girls.
She loves to put all kinds of toys in the front basket.

Anna and Aletta love their new dolls that Grandma and Grandpa sent them. Lillian got a new Winnie the Pooh to replace the one that had it's nose chewed off by Denver.

We love our new dolls. We especially like the fact that they have our names sewn into them.

Jessie and her new mandolin. Lilly is in her happy place!

Just hanging around! Anna showing off her new princess doll.

What's in it Uncle Ben? Can I help you?

My Brother Ben stayed with us for a few days before he went on to another town in Mexico for a youth conference. It was great to have him here.
He was the first person to come and visit here in Mexico.

We went up on the mountain to see all of Autlan.
I though the cactus was cool. No snow around here.



We went out for some Mexican food downtown Autlan
including some liquados (Mexican smoothies).
