Noche Buena, Christmas Eve!!!!

Here in Guatemala, we go to church on Christmas Eve, then come home and open presents and the tradition is to set off fireworks at midnight and then have a bonfire.   

Last night the kids oppened their presents, and it was very heart-touching to see the kids excitement over the new clothes and toys that they received.  We had an amazing time with the fireworks!  (In Puerto Rico, I haven't seen any fire works, so I don't know who was more excited last night, the kids or myself:)  At the campfire, the kids roasted mini marshmellows and then we all hung out together.  We talked, took pictures, played tag in the dark, played card games,  and Edgar and I played guitar together.  It was a really nice time!  Then at 2:00am, it was time to go to bed- I think we were all really disappointed:(
