A meeting of hearts

We had such an amazing time with with my folks and sister here for their visit. It was so much more than I had hoped for! They were able to meet so many of our amazing friends and family here in Chile. The sisters liked all of our ideas for spending time with the girls, and we were able to spend 3 amazing afternoons at the home. They loved each little activity from exploring the peas in the garden with Tio David (Kurt was a bit complicated of a name for most of the girls), to playing jacks, jumping rope, a rousing card game and especially TAKING PICTURES!!

Cinthia and Yenny came with us for the afternoon on the 2nd day and it was their first time eating in a restaurant for both of them. Then we went and rented go-carts in the plaza and turned it into a bumper car game! So much fun. The third day was towards the end of their trip, but we got a wonderful surprise. Joce was dancing at the kindergarden graduation so we all went with her to cheer her on. They did a Rock and Roll song and she cut a pretty mean rug for a 4 year old!

How amazing and special to be able to witness the meeting of hearts - over continents and hemispheres - between the family that inspired me to reach out and love, and these beautiful girls that fill our hearts with sweet kisses each day. Truly the best Christmas gift ever.
