I've been missing all of the cozy Christmas traditions that I would be doing in Colorado right now, so I decided to get a little Christmas tree. I had a ornament and decoration making party with kids from my neighborhood and we decided it would be the Christmas tree for the barrio or neighborhood since most of them didn't have one in their house. We listened to Christmas music, ate snacks and the tree definitely got decorated, as you can see. They had fun inventing their own ideas for ornaments and getting lost in a mess of glue, tinsel and construction paper. I love doing art activities with them because they have such natural creativity. They are constantly inventing art and toys out of whatever materials they can get their hands on, whether it is a kite out of newspaper or a grocery bag, or a welcome sign using cardboard and packing peanuts.

Que cheque (how cool). I hope that is spelled right! What a great activity Anna. It is so awesome to see how you are brightening up their Christmas season with the opportunity to do an activity like this. We really really miss it there and are so glad that others like you and the Hodges are around to be a regular presence in their lives. Thanks again for all the help you gave us while we were there. Please tell everyone hi!!! We are praying for you and the neighborhood daily. -Reade and Lisa
