Because it is hard for churches to get "host families" to host us during the Thanksgiving weekend we spent Wed. and Thurs. nights together sleeping in a church gym. It was actually quite alot of fun to be all together again like we were when the children first arrived in the US. I also enjoyed having full reign in the church kitchen. I had some girls, Christine, Margaret, and Harriet help me make hot chocolate for everyone and after the kids went to bed I made some "real" popcorn on the stove for the Aunties and Uncles. We took advantage of a little free time and let the children watch The Sound of Music and Cinderella. It was nice to just cuddle up with some kids on the couch and relax! We also gave the children new Bibles that a church donated to us. It was such a joy to hear them cheer and shout their thankfulness! This is their first full Bibles as they were using the little Gideon Bibles that just have a New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs. Enjoy the pictures!
