I hate it when i don't post these right away! But I just couldn't let these shots get away. So here's a peek into our holiday celebrations this month! Kendra, Becca and Blake keeping warm at the local OBI where we picked out our Christmas tree. This year was a record year of speed! Normally we unpack all kinds of trees that are stacked up in the store in our hunt for the best one. But this year we walked up to a sweet tree that was just sitting out and already for us!
After we moved to Slovenia we started celebrating Sveti Mikalavz day. On the night of December 5 the kids put out their shoes or boots for Mikalavz to fill. These are Luka's Lightning McQueen shoes that were passed down to him from the Foss family. He LOVES these shoes but as you can see they weren't big enough to hold all the loot Miklavz brought!
These next two shots are from our JV Slovenia team Christmas party. We got the whole gang together and everyone brought the most delicious finger food. The kids exchanged gifts and we sang and laughed and rejoiced that God has called us together to serve in this country.
Here you can see our living room packed and Josh printed up Christmas carols in English for us to sing and also told a family Christmas story. If you've never heard it you'll have to ask him. But if you've ever been near us at Christmas time chances are you've heard it!
Finally a pic of our dear friend Laurie Doden and Luka saying goodbye. Laurie returned with us from the JV thanksgiving to spend the busy 1st week of December with us. She really blessed us just by being here and being our friend. But also with all kinds of acts of service like once a month cooking, praying together, playing with the kids, preparing food for the parties.... we love you Laurie!
