Advent in Guam as seen by a 6 year old

View from our front door of the neighbor's Griswold worthy light display and our own puny  lights. Good cheer in the tropics.

Our indoor tree - the real version, not plastic, although since it was flown from overseas, probably not an environmentally kind choice

Part of the belen at the Seminary

Seminarians' Christmas concert - singing in Maltese, led by an old priest

The Holy Family portrayed by a real family at the Seminary concert.

Another view of the neighbor's. They've added more since.

Seabee truck decorated for caroling. 

Praying Mantis laying eggs on our palm tree.

I love these pictures! I can't believe she is 6, and able to take photos. Good job, Miss 6-year-old!
And Mr. and Mrs. Back Bay View look wonderful! Merry Christmas!

That's an excellent self-portrait! It shows a lot of personality and originality!

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Emily. =)
