Well, I'm sure you are all aware by now...Sunday is a family day here at our house!! And we usually end our day by going to my parents for dinner...and last night it was a bit more than dinner!!! We ate as usual, and then awhile after dinner we heard the front door swing open & the sound of bells!! Yep, you got it...Santa found his way to Nana's house:) Ageze heard the bells first...and said "Santa?" So funny, because, out of all 8 kids..our little guy noticed the sound first...I mean, it's not like he knows about Santa yet!! They rushed to the front door, Tesfa completely terrified..and our other 3 in amazement..."Is that the real Santa or Bompa(my dad!!)??" We then went & sat down...Tesfa clinging to me for dear life, and Ageze all giggles!! Santa started talking to them, digging thru his bag, finding a gift for each child....by now, Tesfa is warming up to the idea!! After Santa left, we finished a Christmas craft..had Dan's birthday cake & headed home to put the kiddos to bed!! The whole way home, Ageze kept saying..."Momma, Santa talk like Bompa, Bompa talk like Santa...Ageze hear Santa fly in airplane..bye Santa!!" "No Santa Ethiopia, momma!" Anyhow, a fun night for all of us...& in the midst of the fun Santa stuff, we must remember why we celebrate this season...CHRISTmas....
Isaiah 9:6-7
(6) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace...
