Tradional Christmas Train--on a much larger scale

Our family has been doing this candy Christmas train for a long time.  Over the years we've shared the memory making with friends.  This year it was an event.  We made the 6 hour drive into Asuncion in order to spend some time celebrating Christmas with our teammates.  With 15 kids all working to build and create using candy, it was a very boisterous room.

 These were the main ingredients.  A huge thank-you to our church family for sending these tasty candies.

 Here is the before picture (well,  after many candies were sampled to insure tastiness).

Another huge thank-you to our friends, the Mckegs, for sending us a candy train kit.  It was exactly the pieces we needed for Gabby to be the engine train this year.  God did in fact, give wings to your package.


It was a blast to share our tradition with this great bunch of kids.
