Pap and Nana Visit!

My dad and Anna came to celebrate Christmas with us on the 26th.  In lieu of presents this year, Pap and Nana took the kids rock climbing (James and I got to join as well!).  They also paid for each of them to sponsor a child in another country.  Ethan picked a boy in Maexico, Nolan picked a girl in Nicaragua, and Lydia picked a girl in the Dominican Republic.  They all chose a child the same age as them with a similar birthdate.  I know Ethan remembers the living situations of the poor people in Mexico, but the other two probably don't.  I am hoping this will be a reminder that there are less fortunate people in the world that need our help.
