Merry Christmas sleepy-heads!
Kenji woke up bright and early (of course ... grrrrr) and was so excited about making a yummy, special C-mas breakfast for everybody. Of course when I say "Kenji wanted to make/Kenji made ..." it means mommy has to do it. :D But it wasn't too bad, because I recruited aunt Liz, hee-hee. I made eggs with ham and cheese and orange juice, she made the biscuits and Kenji helped the both of us. What a shiner! :)

C-mas vacations begin!
Yay, school is over for the year!! (whew) :D When I informed Kenji of this, this is what his reaction was; "Oh, thank you, thank you mommy!!!" -- with a very surprised/excited face on him. He kept on repeating those words while literally strangling me! heh It was so cute to see his reaction and his immense joy.
He likes his school/Kinder, don't get me wrong -- of course there are good days and bad days as far as his mood about going to Kinder goes -- but he's happy to not be going for a bit. Actually, I don't think he quite understands how long his absence from school will last, as I had told him he was getting 20 days off and two days later upon waking up he said; "Mommy I don't want to go to school today, pleeaase can I stay home with you! Awww... ;(
When he returns home he just loves to give me a run down on what went on at Kinder. It usually consists of what child behaved ill-mannered and what happened to the aforementioned child, how he didn't act like that naughty child (ahem, need to work on this SRness :D), how he stood up for his convictions and didn't eat that "yucky candy" (his own words, ehe) -- though sometimes this grand statement of his is avoided (by him of course) at all costs, heh.
Yesterday his Kinder held their Posada (sadly the parents weren't allowed to attend - no pix) and today was the their "Christmas Festival/kids presentation" and the parents were allowed to attend -- you bet! :D I was oh, so very excited about it as it was going to be Kenji's very first time up on a stage participating in something like that!! And I was just desperately hoping he wouldn't shy out of it at the last minute (a lot of kids did) but he was a shiner and didn't get 'stage-shy'. (Unlike me when I was young, heh).

Out and about witnessing!
We were invited to sing at "Festival Artistico" a cultural event that was being managed by the 'Ingenieros del DIF de Gomez, Palacio' and to our surprise the Theater (the place it was held at) was packed with young people and thankfully we were allowed to read a Christmas reflection after the Gilb Duet sang a couple of songs. The young people responded pretty well to both the Duet as well as to the reflection we shared with them. And what's more one of the Ingenieros called us over as we were taking our leave, as he said that the reflection had really touched him and he would like to keep in contact with us and get to see our wide variety of Christian products. TYJ!
There is a L.P. Gas company here who kindly helps us with a 50% discount, as often as is our need, so we offered to sing at their company's "Posada" as a gesture of gratitude for their faithful help. The manager was very thankful and pleased with our participation as even though we may have only sang a couple of songs and read a small Christmas reflection, he said that he felt something different about us -- as opposed to the many other singers/entertainers they had -- and that our music and reading sent off such a serene spirit to all! TYJ! What a testimony of His power and spirit!
