Christmas Eve with Erika and her Family

For those of you who know Erika (from the church) she is so sweet and thoughtful. Well her and her family invited us to come over and celebrate Christmas with them. The main celebration for most Mexicans is Christmas eve. We told Erika we would love to come and we asked her what time should we come over. She answered....9:00pm!!! That was when they were starting the party!! Here are some pictures from our Christmas Eve celebration with Erika and her family.
This is her nephew Sebastian
The kids had a piñata of course!! The youngest goes first.... Sebastian. The guy helping Sebastian is Erika's brother Hector and the man in black is Erika's brother Ivan....he is the dad of Sebastian.
This is Santiago. Another nephew of Erika. This is Yuir's son.
These are Erika's parents....Rogelio and Patricia with their grandkids. Santiago is crying because the "Cars" piñata is now broken!!!
We had a delicious meal after the piñata and then sat around and talked and then we had a dance competition for the kids. I think Sebastian won hands down. It was so cute and very fun!

Here is the whole family minus the brother Hector and Santiago....he fell asleep.
Rogelio, Patricia, Erika, Sebastian, Marta(Sebastian's mom) Ivan and Yuri.
This is such a precious family and we are so thankful we were able to celebrate with them. We really feel the Lord working in this family and we hope you will continue to pray for this family and for the Lord to work in mighty ways!

Another side note: We didn't get home that evening until 2:00am!!! The Mexican way of life.
