Merry Christmas from Bolivia!

Maribel and Roberto sent me some pictures of decorating the house for Christmas.  Roberto's pictures were accompanied by the message, "We don't remember where everything goes!"  =)  He also wrote, "When are you buying pizza?" 

I usually have to bribe the guys with pizza...

But they did a good job! 

Getting everything out of storage and organized.

 

 

Putting greenery and lights up around the doors.

 

 

Yimy always finds something special to hang over his door.

 

 

When I first saw these pictures I wasn't entire sure what was happening...

 

 

Still not sure....

 

  

Ah...Bolivian ingenuity....

 

 

More greenery. 

 

Thanks Mom and Dad for all the greenery you bought us on your first trip to Bolivia...

 

 

And...more greenery and lights....

 

 

Somewhere along the way since last year our Christmas tree grew arms...

 

 

Maribel making Christmas-y things....

 

 

All done for another year...

 

 

It looks pretty Winter Wonderlandish....as much as something

can look Winter Wonderlandish when it's 40 C.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to everyone who gave a little extra this Christmas to make sure this all happened.  Maribel tells me that the presents are purchased and the guys have convinced her to cook a turkey on Christmas day in my absence.  I'm sending her notes.  =)  They're also cooking Christmas dinner for the little shoe shiner family we know.  Well...not so little since there are ten kids.

An extra special thank you to those of you who prayed for and supported us this past year!  On behalf of myself, Maribel and all the guys, we greatly appreciate it!

Merry Christmas!
