Christmas Morning


 



Other Fun Activities with Grandparents visit


   

Grandma and Grandpa McClelland were able to come to Jamaica and celebrate the week before and Christmas day with our family!  It was such a joy to have them here to celebrate!  We did so many fun activities and had such great quality time with them.  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for coming!

A Bright Hess Visit


John and Danya Hess, YWAM JA directors, invited us over to see their BRIGHT Christmas tree and village. Olive and Valor were so blessed by the bag of goodies they received, too!   As well as they hosted all of us for Christmas Eve dinner, which was so good and filled with great fellowship. 

 

Christmas Spirit Week at School



Twinkle Tuesday: Dress up like a Christmas tree or gift! 

T'was a Reading Afternoon: Dress up in  your pajamas and bring a blanket.



Mommy was able to volunteer and be around for the reading afternoon! 



GRINCH Wednesday: Dress up in green or wear your favorite "WHO" hair


Decorating at the McClelland House



Valor was in charge of the nativity set, and Olive was responsible for organizing the books.  She got a little distracted by reading them!  


Our faithful felt Christmas tree in Jamaica has become a fun tradition as we read Bible verses everyday from Luke 2 for Jesus birth! 

It would not be Christmas, without HOT CHOCOLATE! Even in Jamaica! 


Olive has promised to read one Christmas story to Valor every night. She has been really faithful with this promise this season and Valor has LOVED it!

Making Christmas gifts for Teachers


An Early Christmas Gift


Grandma Ruiz gave a gift of a playground set for the kids in Jamaica. We ordered it, but due to COVID and shipping delays, it just arrived after being shipped from the states.  The week before Christmas, Dan was able to set it up with an amazing mission team. They also planned a treasure hunt for the kids to find it! 








Thank you, Grandma!  The kids are so thankful and love the playground!
