Families Helping Families- Christmas 2009

For Christmas this year Scott and I went to Puerto Peñasco to work with a foundation called Families Helping Families. This is the 3rd year that we have been fortunate enough to go and help build homes for hard working families in need. Below are some pictures of the week. I am currently working on a slide show because I have so many photos....I will update this again soon with captions and more details of the week!! But for now, please enjoy some of the photos!
