Ok, now that it is almost Valentine's Day I guess I need to post picture of our Christmas trip to Venezuela. Again, I like to put the pictures like this so you can scan them at your own pace. I am going to make a couple of posts because there are so many pictures, but here is the first.


Ok, I accidentally deleted this picture. It was supposed to be at the end but here it is. This is our Christmas eve dinner.

This first picture is in the Caracas airport. Wuilman's brother was supposed to meet us there, but wuilman's nephew and cousins were there to surprise us! It was a nice surprise because they were able to keep the girls entertained because we had a six hour delay!

This is our nephew Stalin and Krissi

All the kids playing in the airport

This is only one fo the vehicles (a 15 passenger van) that came to pick us up. There were two other cars full of people at the airport. They said that about 20 people went home and didn't wait of us because we were so late.

Krissi and Talia relaxing in the hammock with Abuelo.

We brought a couple of newer movies so here are some of the younger kids watching UP.

Talia, Tio, and Johan decorating the christmas tree.

Making Hallacas (a venezuelan christmas tradition, kind of like a tamale bigger and with a lot more filling)

Talia was obsessed with this little snowman and would drag it around everywhere.

Talia and I all dressed up for Christmas eve dinner

Abuelita (Wuilman's grandma) and I This trip I was able to talk to her a little bit more. Of course she just jabbers away at me like before but this time I was actually able to understand a little bit more and she could understand me. I hope to be blessed to spend more time with her
