Fireworks in Chichi

In Guatemala, the local people set off fireworks outside their homes at midnight on both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.  On our dirt road, our neighbors built fires.

We woke up the older girls and went outside to watch the show.

We were dog-sitting Teddy, and he was super scared by the noise, so we took turns holding him.  Even Michael!

Our landlord's dog, Negro, was shivering from the cold, so we gave him a box to sleep in.  (He always prefers our balcony, especially now that he has a bed!)

A few days into the new year, Veronica was very quiet, so I went to find out what she was doing... I found her feeding Teddy his dog food, piece by piece!  He is such a sweet dog with the kids.

Happy New Year from the Montgomery's!
