I was so glad to be in Cochabamba over Christmas for my second year in a row.
Christmas time is always very busy here at Casa de Amor!
First, on Christmas Eve, we celebrated at the baby home. Each of our kids has a local 'padrino' or Godparent who sends them a gift on Christmas and on their birthday. The babies dressed up for the occasion in red and green and of course, hats (Though none of them seemed to understand the purpose of the hat!) and then we opened up our presents!
All of the babies in their Christmas finery!
Eating cupcakes and playing with toys!
There were cookies, cupcakes, and hot chocolate. It was pretty great!
Playing with the Tias.
One of our new brothers 'E'. Trying out his new duplo set.
New little brother 'L.M.' and my baby 'Eli' trying out their new toys.
This particular truck had lights and a song that played over and over and over and over and.......
Jen and Jake stopped by the Baby Home after their official court meeting that allowed them to bring their boys home on Christmas Eve!
I was pretty happy for them! It was a Christmas miracle!
Brothers E and LM ended up celebrating Christmas twice since they moved over to Casa II, (the big boys home, the next morning for Christmas day!)
I was so glad to be a part of their celebration this year!
We would especially like to thank all of you who are so generous to us over the Christmas season (as well as throughout the year!). You are directly investing into the lives of each and everyone of our boys and girls!
