The following are a collection of recent pictures, giving you some snapshots into recent events during the holiday season here in Cambodia...
"Merry Christmas!" from a Cambodian Santa.
Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus (center) in Phnom Penh Mennonite Church's Christmas play. The church did a fantastic job of organizing a joyful Christmas celebration.
Bethany stands with her language teacher, Socheata, for a picture at Khmer School of Language's Christmas party.
We recently had the pleasure of hosting "Yey" and "Tah" (grandmother and grandfather) and their family. Because this family, as our first landlords, was the first Cambodian family that we interacted with on a regular basis, they will always have a special place in our hearts.
And of course, Kai turned the big "1" on December 17th. The little porker had a cake (appropriately) in the shape of a pig. Though not as sweet as American cake, it was yummy and Kai had no problem enjoying his first taste of dessert.
Juliana did a fantastic job playing a sheep as part of Hope School's Christmas Concert. We were impressed by how well she remembered the lyrics and music to the songs they sang. She's got the Umble musical gift.
Merry Christmas from us to you!
May you enjoy this season of celebrating our generous God,
and may we all grow more like Him, being people of generosity...

How special to learn of your Christmas celebration in Cambodia! Thanks for the update complete with pictures. I'd love to hear Juliana sing her songs.

How fun! Hope you are not missing home TOO much around this time of year...Continue to think of you often. Great family shot...and Kaycee loves belting out songs right now, but it would appear she did not get the King singing gene, she got mine. :( Still a joyful noise unto the Lord! :) Merry Christmas! Love, The kings.
I know I'm late, but the wish is the same - Merry Christmas. We were with the Groff family yesterday and it was fun having Larry's family home this year. Praying that life in Cambodia continues to go well for you.
I so enjoy reading your updates and seeing the pics. I would love to hear Juliana sing the songs. I continue to pray for your language classes.
