Christmas Blessings (part 1)

One of the blessings of life in Hawaii is getting to know and love Pastor Harlan and his sweet wife, Dana. They are more seasoned church planters on the windward side of the island, and have adopted our families wholeheartedly. Their church, Fellowship Baptist Church, blessed us all during a dinner recently. They brought presents for each child, and presents for each church planting couple. They were so kind and generous and picked such perfect gifts for each of our children! After a yummy dinner of smoked pulled pork (by my amazing hubby!), we sat around the table and sang some Christmas songs. It's pretty weird to be preparing for Christmas while it is still 85 degrees outside! We are trying, however, to keep doing fun things to remind us of the advent season!
More to come later...

Pastor Harlan handing out gifts

Haleigh and her science experiment kid (she LOVED it!)

A perfect toy for Nathan...a phone!

A little fuzzy...but sweet picture of Elsy trying to eat her present!

Joshua loved his lego present and it was a sweet time
 for he and his dad to spend time together

Ava and her good buddy with a princess (they really know our girl!)

Joshua immediately made a ramp for his remote control truck

Haleigh opened up her gift right away and started digging for dino bones!
