Today was the very first Christmas for many of our kids here at our safe home! It was truly amazing to see how excited they were to celebrate.
We had an entire day of fun and celebration. In the morning we went to the park and played games. Then in the afternoon we came back and had a big Christmas dinner of grilled chicken, spicy pork, and fried rice. We have to admit it is the first time we had Thai food for Christmas! After a very short nap we created a new tradition of ice cream followed by opening personal Christmas gifts! We made sure each child knew that even if they received a pine needle as a Christmas gift, to be thankful, even if it wasn't what they had wanted! The kids wanted to express a precious 'Thank You' to both our moms who provided gifts for each child! From our
you can see for yourself their precious enthusiastic reactions! We wish you could have been there as they carefully opened each present.
Many of the kids jumped up and down and screaming (in excitement, that is)! We’ve never seen such enthusiastic reactions!!
