Christmas Eve in Cuenca

Dear Family and Friends,

Each year I post about the children's Christmas Eve parade in Cuenca.  And each year as I go through the pictures to decide which ones to share with you, it brings tears to my eyes.  I miss my grandchildren most at this time of the year.

Papa Noel (aka. Jim Stephens, our brother in law) was a big hit with the children.  He shopped all year for small toys and passed out over five hundred toys out to delighted kids.

Papa Noel and his elf helper Audrey.

As I am posting this, the parade is still going on.  It lasts from 10 am until 5:00 pm.  Thousands and thousands of children...this is a wonderful tradition in Cuenca.

Chuck and I wish you a Merry Christmas.
