This picture is of Carter and his Mechanix gloves. He has been waiting to grow into the ones that I use and I found these kids sized gloves on eBay a while back and ordered them - he likes them a lot!
Kayla bought Tina a famous Baptist Haiti Mission poinsettia (I don't think that Lou was impressed):
The items in this basket that we bought here in Haiti are from Tina's parents: shortbread cookies and hot cocoa (this website rotated this image on me).
My parents gave us a couple nights rest at the Visa Lodge and a meal. The kids will enjoy the hotel's pool and we'll enjoy being able to play with them in the pool (although we have to figure out what to do with the dog yet). (THANK YOU GUYS!!)
On Christmas Eve night, we went to Pastor Rob and Patti's place to have a meal and exchange white elephant gifts. I brought a special gift for Mr. Kyrk - so he would remember a specific event (hitting the cow with the truck).
Patti had the kids act out a brief portion of the story of Jesus' birth. It was well done and very entertaining. I have a video of the whole thing.
On Christmas day, we also went and delivered Christmas gifts to the people in the hospital (and the nurses). The kids enjoyed handing out candy canes and other little treats, too.
Dr. Bernard gave us a gift of a well decorated cake that says "Merry Christmas" in Creole (again the image was rotated):
Also, on Christmas Day, the kids were treated to cotton candy thanks to Mr. Kyrk and his cotton candy machine. It tasted really good (I may not LOOK like a kid, but I did try some)! Yes, Carter has taken his gloves off for an hour or so.
