Melkam Yelidet Beaal! (Merry Christmas)

Today is the Ethiopian Christmas. We decided to celebrate and try to make some traditions for Micah. We invited the McVeighs over for dinner and the kids played a little and then exchanged gifts. It is tradition in Ethiopia to exchange a "practical" gift on Christmas (meaning something like clothing, not a toy!). Micah gave Evan a t-shirt and some socks. We all had a great time. Thanks McVeighs for celebrating with us! ~Melissa
