We spent Christmas in Haiti blessing the children of Maison de Lumiere. It's always so special to see their faces when they receive a gift. I know our kids are a bit spoiled, but it's still great to see their faces. We have some new kids and I waited to see their face specifically. It just brings me so much JOY to see how happy they are. Christmas is not just about the gifts, but the act of receiving. I love to see the reactions on peoples faces when they see what I got them. It's the best!!
We went to the girls home first and then to the boys. After, we got to enjoy a meal all together. It made me happy to see everyone socializing and enjoying each other's company. I passed out the cards Maggie gave to me to pass out to the kids. Too bad they thought they were from me...haha!! I told them they weren't. They really appreicated them because she put photos in it. One of her girls, Cherline, read it and I knew she wished she was here. I do too.
The boys played soccer until sun up. Dude they are SO good at soccer. Even Sam tried to play with them and failed. Haha!! I love that Adeline and Christella can hold their own with the boys. Rock on girls!! I wish I could even attempt to play soccer. I just love watching them play!! Eventually we went back to the guest house and out of exhaustion went to bed. Merry Christmas!! :)
Monday I helped undecorate the guest house of Christmas decor. I organized/put away the stuff for the Christmas program. I could not believe how sweet the costumes are!! Someone made outfits...legit outfits for the program out of bed sheets!! Too bad I missed it this year :(
One of the highlights would be the feeding program that afternoon. We got to just hang out with sweet faces of the neighborhood. I had a little baby girl cling to me at the end and she didn't want to let go!! So precious!! Until next time :)
