We had a nice quiet Christmas Eve being the only family at the hotel...it felt really good to have the hotel to ourselves. We had a nice traditional Colombian lunch served by Katya herself. She once again spoiled us with gifts for everybody. At night we went for a little walk to see some lights. Not a lot of lights in Bogota, but, we found a place where several families came to walk around and see all the decorations and lights...in Bogota, Christmas festivities with families do not start until at least 6 or 7pm, gifts a Midnight, and celebrating into the wee hours of the morning for some...
I love this...palm trees surrounded by daisies lit up all down the street...
Silas' favorite Christmas present came from Katya...a scary dinasour, making lots of noise. He really enjoyed chasing Caroline around the hotel with it. Oh she was mad!
Daddy did a wonderful job sharing the Christmas story in English and Spanish before we opened presents...of course, the kids distracted by the gifts under the tree...
By the afternoon we had some very tired kids...
We were also blessed to have Abuelo Julio and Abuela Margarita, and their son from Canada come and visit with us...bringing more treats and goodies for the kids! They are so kind and gracious, making it known to us that if we need anything while in Bogota, they would like to help!
It was a wonderful day celebrating our Saviour's birth and enjoying our first Christmas as a famiy of 6!
