               Kaitlyn had to make a model of Narnia for school.  She did a great job!
 Mckenzie got lice, so we treated her, Kaitlyn, and me.  (Kaitlyn wouldn´t let me post a picture of herself)
 My sweet friend sharing with a group of kids where we were going door to door. 
 Here is the group getting ready to go door to door. 
 These were the houses we knocked on.  Very poor living conditions. 
 A group of kids who were up to trouble.  But, they really listened as a group shared with them. 
 We went to the mountains for Matt´s birthday.  Here is the cabin we stayed in. 
 The girls resting after walking in the mountains. 
 It was so pretty.  Trees everywhere! 
 A wild cactus growing in the middle of the trees. 
 We found a rope swing in the middle of the trees. 
                    Hang on Kaitlyn!!!!
 We found these flowers growing in the wild.  They were so neat!  They were even hollow in the middle like a balloon! 


 It got cold at night so we made a fire.  It was so nice! 
                     Last day before going home. 
 We had an event in the park with all of the national church planters. 
                    Playing games....
Most importantly, praying together in groups and sharing our hearts.

 Mckenzie and her friend Rachel were trying to starm warm, watching a movie.
 Kaitlyn and her friend Sarah cooked us breakfast! 
 This was a Christmas party with one of the groups in Los Cantaros. 
 Kaitlyn played Peter in the Christmas play at church. 
 Mckenzie had to play the part of the devil in the Christmas play.  The Christmas play was all about the life of Jesus. 



 Some friends of ours had a birthday party for their daughter at a bounce house place.  Even the adults enjoyed it! 
 We had a craft day with another family that does homeschool.  They made really cute snowmen. 


 Kaitlyn turned 13th!  She had a sleepover with some friends from church.  They had a lot of fun!


This is how we celebrated Christmas.  We made a big meal with all the works and of course, opened presents!

 We spent a day in Guanajuato, Mexico as a family.  It is built into the hills.  It is a really neat town.



 This is a famous street known as the kissing street.  You can see how close these houses are together.  You can go up on the balconies and lean over and kiss each other.  It's a very narrow street. 


 The town is full of tunnels.  They even have trees growing through the tunnels. 
 We went to the leather market.  Mckenzie found a pair of cowboy boots.  She is very excited about them! 
This is some of the houses in Guanajuato.  People have to park and walk up all of these stairs just to get to their house!  I can't imagine!
