We shared Christmas Eve with the Basel family (Andre, Annette, Nikki and Caleb), Andre's parents and Valdir (an exchange student from Brazil).  We really enjoyed our time of fellowship and sharing with this special family.  It was a true blessing to be included in family time for the holiday! 

We enjoyed a dinner of roast chicken and lamb with all kinds of yummy sides -- roasted potatoes, buttered carrots and steamed cauliflower just to name a few!  After dinner we opened gifts (James really liked that part! He's starting to get the hang of ripping open packages) and then enjoyed a time of singing and a short D-vo (devotional).

FYI -- It seems Yahoo is having some technical difficulties with pictures right now, so I can't post any with this blog.  Please check our Shutterfly account for pictures of our Christmas Eve dinner with the Basel family.
