Merry Christmas!

This year, because Lilo's schedule for the Nutcracker (one on the 23rd and another 2 on closing weekend) we were unable to fly back home to celebrate the holidays with our family. So we decided to do something we've always wanted to do but the kids were never old enough... help serve others that are less fortunate than us. This was our first time serving together as a family and we can happily report back that after a few hours at the St. Monica's church the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves, towards the end they even helped out with the "entertainment" singing Christmas carols, that they want to do it every year.

Peace and Joy to all of you!
Merry Christmas!






Update: Attached is a video of the kids providing some impromptu post-dinner entertainment with their rendition of "Rudolph the red-nose-"...uh I forgot the words. There was a second song, but I will spare everyone...

The results can be seen below....
