The Days Leading up to Christmas


Execution Rock
A lot of really sad history right here - they would walk the guilty from the village below up the long side of the mountain to the highest peak. If they survived being pushed off they were considered "clean". You can only imagine what kind of life they would have after they had been pushed from such a height...IF they survived! So sad!
Barefoot grocery shopping - yes guys you gotta try and embrace as much of the culture as you can!
This folks is epic, gross if you really think about it, but epic!
Hmmmm hmmm!
This folks if living the wild life on the edge!
Swimming on Christmas Eve - we may need to make this a new tradition if I am in a warm country! 
Jenelle and I cooked and cooked and cooked Christmas Eve till our feet hurt! It was crazy fun to be in the kitchen again with her as we used to spend SO many hours together here! It's a great bonding thing, I promise you should try it!
Introduced Chris and James to these amazing dutch donuts - Oliebollen
This we have decided is going to be out Christmas Eve tradition - not the norm New Years Eve!
So Christmas Eve we ate these delish sweets, watched a movie and played games! Till 12:00am then went directly to bed!:) :We were all so done!
So happy to be together for Christmas!

Dear Followers, I apologize for not writing on the happenings in the last few months! Many new opportunities, many ups and downs, but through it all - there is so much to learn, and hopefully in the process He's making us into stronger people, becoming more and more like Him! December was filled with lots of different Christmas happenings, get together's, music opportunities, visitations, baking, eating of yummy food, and spending time with family!  I maybe took 3 or 4 pictures - not much to show, but will be bringing more pictures of the upcoming months!  New Years - I was sick again, so I was home alone, while everyone went else where to ring in the New Year! A good time to reflect on the happenings, excitement, disappointments, blessings, and most of all His faithfulness! A lot to remember, be thankful for, but 2013 is past, and although it brought much joy and some of the happiest most fulfilled moments, times - this is 2014 and I'm excited to see what He w...
