First PNG Christmas

Christmas morning we woke up to a beautiful rainy day! it was cooler than most days and stayed that way all day. It was a great way to start the morning; praising God for Him being that personal to give us some "winter" weather.
The kids woke up, we prayed as a family and then went to check out the tree. It was pretty fun since the kids really had no idea what was about to happen. I had ordered the kid's presents on amazon and had them sent over with a friend in october. And my mom sent some gifts over too.
As for Justin's gift it was 2 gatorade's, a 3.5 oz bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, and a twix bar that i found in Goroka when Pax and I were seeing the Doctor. Things are different but it was fun to start our own traditions. Like cinnamon rolls fro breakfast and spending the whole day as a family, playing (dressing up! thanx grandma)and watching movies.
It was completely relaxing and we got to Skype with both sides of the family. No complains and looking forward to our next Christmas in the tribe!
Here is our friend who dressed up as Father Christmas for a local church.
