One more on Christmas

We had a great experience this year,  we have some ideas of things we would like to do the following years with the kids, but this time was rewarding, hopefully we can make the twelve days of Christmas to somebody or family some time in the future.
Let me tell you what our experience was on saturday evening, there is a brother at Church that he is not in his five senses even though when you talk to him he answers everything you ask him but he still in his world and this due to a bad accident he had, so not every body talk to him, but we respect him a lot and try to be nice to him, he rides his bike to Church every single Sunday, summer or winter time, we haven't seen him missing Church,  feel bad for all of those who are healthy and have a car  and don't want to go to Church, we grateful to be able to meet special persons in our lives who help us to give our best not matter what. Well, we wanted to do something nice for him, and we got some presents and got a plate full of food and Tom drove by his apartment that night (because this brother was working we didn't find him earlier), and when he opened the door and saw Tom, said: I was praying for this, I was praying for this, took what Tom brought and closed the door. That was it, no more words, but he certainly made us feel grateful we gave him something that night to make him happy. Our eyes were full of tears and now that I'm writing it I have the same special feeling for that little action we did on Christmas eve.  We are grateful for all the blessings we have and hope we can share with those less fortunate every time we can, so we can be the Lord's hands in some way.

Before I forget and not mention this, on Christmas day we had dinner with the Smith's a very beautiful family we met when we just moved to Yuma in the first ward we were attending, they invited us over again (second year) to their home to have dinner with them and another, we are grateful for the opportunity to be blessed with good friends around us that make our lives better, and all of this is because of the gospel of Jesus Christ that help us to be better, and to have good examples at Church with wonderful families. We love Christmas season because makes us remember Christ birth, and give us the opportunity to be givers more than receivers or at least trying to learn that principle in our lives.

Here we have our little doll enjoying her time there as well




Here we have our other little one having some fun with daddy, as he had the chance to explore the trampoline the Smith's kids got from Santa, Joel loved it.




 We had a great dinner and enjoyed the company a lot. We brought four different things for dessert, we were not sure what would be best (wish I took pictures of them but I forgot),  chocolate chips cookies, cheesecake, chocolate cake and a pineapple cream cake.
