Christmas with Teddy

Merry Christmas to everyone!  This year we dubbed the season "Christmas with Teddy" because we are dog-sitting a cute little white Maltese dog while his owners (John and Sharon Harvey, the founders of ASELSI) are in the States for Christmas.

Teddy is sweet with the children!
On Friday before Christmas, we went over to
Chrisi, Michael, and baby Hudson's house for a
Christmas party.  We made pizza, played games,
and really enjoyed our time with our hosts!
On Christmas morning, the older girls started
the day with a treasure hunt for their stockings
from "Santa-Mommy."  They found their
treasures (mostly filled with candy) in the car!
Veronica had fun with her stocking, too,
digging for baggies of chips and raisins!
We all enjoyed Veronica's enthusiasm, once
we convinced her it was okay to rip the paper! 
The rest of us had already opened our gifts
to each other while she was napping, or she
would have claimed them all as her own!
Merry Christmas

in Guatemala!
