Christmas Activities

Here's a little synopsis of what we have been doing this Holiday Season:

Wilson had a solo this year in his Holiday Musical Program!  He was the best soloist and sang with perfect pitch and articulation (no bias here.)  We all learned something new about Hanakuh when Wilson conquered his role as a confused, pre-conceived Latka.  What is Latka?  We wondered the same thing.  It's a Yiddish potato pancake.  Sounds delicious, right?


A visit with Santa was on our schedule; however Wilson informed me this year that he was not sitting on the FAKE Santa's lap.  He found it pointless.



One of our most time consuming activities this season was helping with the open house of our new church building.  I get emotional just thinking about having a chapel in our lil' ol' town.  What a blessing!  We were happy to be involved.  We even got to ride in the parade on the church's float.  Next time you see Maisy, ask her to show you her *parade wave.*  It's scary how perfect it is.

Mostly we've just been enjoying everything about the Christmas festivities.  Maisy is always reminding us why we celebrate and give presents.  She's been saying in her prayers things like, "Please help us to remember that Christmas is not about getting toys, but about sharing our hearts."  And, "Please help to see that special star and remember that Jesus loves us." Love that girl.

Merry Christmas Everyone!  We love YOU!

TACO TOTE

Where is the best place to dine in Laredo, Texas?  TACO TOTE (Pronounced "To-tay" for you gringos out there) So why do we like Taco Tote?





Because you can meet a cool fake guy in a tuxedo-te.





Unlimited chips, limes, salsa, and cilantro-te.






"Panchos--" Nachos with beef, chicken, beans, and queso-te.






Authentic tortillas and shredded beef make a perfect taco-te.





It's everybody's favorite place to go-te.






You can eat and eat and eat 'til there ain't no mo'-te.





Taco Tote, Taco Tote, food so good that you can't say no-te!
