Christmas At Paradise--Looking Forward to Paradise

Christmas is a celebration of our Savior, Jesus, who came to save us from our sin and give us eternal life in Him. We look forward to one day going to paradise to be with Him! However, this Christmas we went to "Paradise" on earth and had fun at the beach in the sun! If we can't be with our families we may as well enjoy the blessings of the Philippines!

Elijah is into boats and shovels, as you can see. He starts digging right when he sees sand.

Mama is going crazy with the pictures--Malachi's first Christmas! (Again, Sarah provides the outfits--Beach boy, hand-me-down--we're always thinking of you!)

I LOVE THIS ONE!!! Oh my heart soars with love.

Mama's attempt at a brothers monkey shirt picture--not working, but good try.

Malachi at the beach--getting his feet wet!

Monkey boys photo attempt number two--our first matching outfits =)

Beckers at the Beach--Merry Christmas!

I post this one for my sister (can you tell I'm missing her as I post!?). The travel bed still gets use. Look at your little lambs buddy!

Elijah found a little Philipina buddy. I was proud of him for branching out and meeting new friends.


Again, my little Malachi--precious!!

Last year Elijah was sticking his head in these coconuts--who knew a year later we'd have Malachi Tyndale!

And here we have it---Santa at paradise. We don't believe in Santa but I think this pic is ironic. If only they had a statue of frosty the snowman at the beach!
