Boxing Day Fun

We had a lovely day yesterday visiting with friends from all over the world. When I tried to count everyone from memory, I counted 33 people who came through our door for our "open house". We had some good sweeties which the children helped me bake over the last few days, some hot tea, cold drinks, but most of all, some great visiting with many of our new friends. The adults were able to visit in the kitchen while the children played in the toy room and helped us decorate our mural which our children helped create over the last couple of days. You can see below the finished product at the end of the evening yesterday which shows all the sheep the children who visited created as well as the shepherds and angels they colored. So to the far right is the nativity scene and the many sheep and shepherds are "keeping watch" when the angels come and give them the Good News. Everyone enjoyed the craft and now we are enjoying their handiwork!

The finished Masterpiece!

We are so blessed to have made so many good friends in such a short time here. We had friends visit who originally come from Canada, USA, Poland, Russia, Botswana, Pakistan, and Scotland. We are all in the same boat and it was nice to be able to share this special holiday time with them.
Hope your holidays have been just as nice!
