Merry Christmas from the Schroeders



We wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Love,
Mark, Judy, James and Andrew

James lost 3 teeth!


James and Andrew were playing a little roughly this morning, which resulted in James losing 3 bottom teeth! Once he got over the initial shock of being kicked in the mouth and blood etc., he was happy to be rid of those very loose teeth ... and excited about a visit from the tooth fairy tonight. Although it was an accident, Andrew apologized and they've patched things up. Now James will have an interesting story to tell of how his little brother kicked out his 3 bottom teeth:)

Happy Birthday Jesus Party





Our Wednesday night bible study group, Foundations hosted a "Birthday Party for Jesus" at our church. We invited some families who currently don't have homes and are staying at our church for the week. Their kids mixed together beautifully with ours, and a joyful time was had by all. Here we are pictured singing Christmas carols and having birthday cupcakes.

Christmas Cantata


The boys sat through an hour long performance at church. We were very proud ... even if Andrew was asleep for most of it. This is a break through for our family!

St. Mark's Christmas Pageant




Andrew sang on stage with his class at a school Christmas pageant. They sang a well-known West Indies song: "A long time ago in Bethlehem the holy bible say ... Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Chris-a-mas day". It was very cute! Andrew is also pictured with his two teachers, Ms. Vicki and Ms. Susan.

Christmas Pageant





James and Andrew were both shepherds in our church's annual Christmas pageant. James had two speaking lines, and they both did a great job on stage!

Gingerbread House



To kick off a month long of Christmas festivities, here we are at church decorating a gingerbread house. Surprisingly almost all of the candy actually made it on the house this time!

Thanksgiving


Here we are enjoying a delicious Thanksgiving meal with Grandma and Grandad!
