Midnight, Christmas eve, the people here eat tamales, set off fire crackers, open gifts, and then go to bed at 1 or 2 in the morning. We got tamales from 3 different families!
We did fireworks at Melanie and Angel's house, after eating tamales and ponche-fruit drink.
For Christmas, Alan got us a mosquito net for our bed. The biggest surprise was 2 weeks earlier our kids paid to send a package with a lady coming to Coban of chocolate chips, brown sugar, tapioca pudding, DVDs, a DVD player, some clothes, chocolate raisins, and SEES- woot woot!
We went with the Garrido family to see their grandfathers' land, there is a family that lives on the land and takes care of the animals.
We got to talk to all of our kids and parents for Christmas. Ashleigh and her girls reading gifts from Justin.
Talking with family and loved ones is the best gift we could have gotten. Graham and Darwin playing.
Jake, Jamie, Stephen, Whitney together.
We had an activity with some primary and youth over at our house to learn how to make cake/cupcakes and carmel for popcorn.
They love the carmel popcorn and took everything home with them to share with their families.
We made icing and they played around with decorating with ziploc bags.
They took all but 4 cupcakes and the cake home. We plan on giving the elders the 4 leftover cupcakes.
