We've arrived at home in the states and have been enjoying spending time with family and friends. This is a great season to be home because we get to celebrate Christmas with everyone. Before we got here we also had many parties and celebrations with the kids in Romania.
For our Christmas parties at the boys special needs school we watched "Mikey's Christmas Carol" and had lots of snacks. We also talked about the real reason for the season - Jesus Christ's birth.
We had more parties at Sanda and Mariana's place for the kids in the other orphanages. We watched more movies and had good snacks.
Shhh, don't tell anyone, we let some of them jump on the couch!
All of the kids had lots of fun and we pretty much memorized the story of "A Christmas Carol."
We also had a christmas party with our Bible study group from church. We did a white elephant gift exchange and had lots of yummy desserts.
The first Christmas program was at the boys school. We enjoyed seeing all the kids that we work with up on stage singing their hearts out.
We also enjoyed watching some funny skits.
After the program we handed out their Christmas presents. You can imagine how excited they were to receive some very nice presents.
This picture says it all, thanks for all those that donated items for our Christmas gifts!
