Yesterday we had out first Christmas party at the Children Home. It was a LOT of fun. Someone donated some bouncy castles to Bread For Life (who we used to work with) and they gave one to Win our Nations. So we blew that up yesterday, the kids loved it! It was defiantly a hit. Then we did a slideshow of photos from the past year, the children all had a good laugh at seeing themselves projected up on the wall. It was great to see how much they and the Home has changed in the last year. Then we watch "The Nativity Story." We (or Jake should I say) made a bunch of popcorn, plus some groundnuts (peanuts) and a bunch of Kool Aid for snack. All in all, we had a blast and it won't be a day the kids forget anytime soon.
Christmas morning Sara and I are going to make breakfast for everyone at HHCH... we have some little pressies to hand out to all the children... it will be nice to spend the morning with the kids. Then back to home as we've got about 15 people for Christmas dinner. Couldn't find a turkey this year so 2 chickens and a pork roast will have to do. Will post pics.

Should be enough popcorn for everyone

Oh My Gosh!!! I'm beyond happy to finally see those bounce houses being put to use ... after working to get them donated and sent over etc. I'm so glad that the kids got to put them into action!! If you ever have time could you e-mail me the pictures ... the company who donated them would love to have them and I could pass them along.
Yummy Jacob!
If you ever get your hands on spiced season-salt shake some on your poporn, you will love it, but your popcorn only!!
Should I maybe try sending some with a card? Hmm?
:)
Love, Mother
