Jamaa

We were really blessed to have family visit for almost 3 weeks over Christmas Break. Nicole's parents and brother came to celebrate Christmas with us.

It was great for us to have some of our homesickness cured, and to have them experience our lives here in Nairobi. Lexi and Nate were thrilled to have a captive audience all to themselves. They were also grateful for the presents they brought from our families. Thank you to everyone who sent us gifts and the food that we have been missing.

Lexi got to show Grammy our little friends at an orphanage while Nate and Grandad played at the school playground. Uncle Matt got to experience petting a baby cheetah at the animal orphanage. We also went on safari where Lexi used her new camera to take pictures of the warthogs where we were staying. We enjoyed showing them all our church and the school where Jason teaches. We also got to feed them some interesting foods here. Matt, to our surprise, tried cow stomach. We all had a great time together.

Here are three of our favorite pictures from their visit:
