Ok so this is going to be chalk full of pictures...are you ready? The pictures can tell everything with the captions, so gear up for LOTS of scrolling :) This weekend has been a very full one indeed!
Friday night: Thanksgiving at the Kings.
Saturday: Marieke and I sang for a "Tour, Tea, and Talent Show" event that HSO hosted for a local retirement home...then we went to the end of term SO party at a local resort - awesome, FREE Meditteranean food!
Praise the Lord :) And I was able to bring J some leftovers...
Sunday: Church and then the OSO Christmas Party. A bunch of people were able to buy Christmas gifts for all the kids in both of the children's homes here - it was a happy chaos :) We got a gift for one of the 2 year old girls in the Bel Air home :)
Now: blogging/Marieke is doing homework...the men are studying. We are ready for finals to go away :)
Prepare to scroll...forever.
Everyone patiently awaiting the feast...Natalie and Jade graciously opened their home to us!
The decor! Check out the wall colors!!! :)
Delicious corn casserole courtesy of Sayeh :)
My green bean casserole with homemade onion topping!!!
One half of the hosts :) Cutting the "turkey" [chicken]
AMAZING baklava!!! Jessica did a GREAT job - everyone went back for seconds...and thirds...maybe ;) She also made delectable stuffing...
The very hungry men.
The very happy and successful Thanksgiving-feast-making girls :)
Great times with great people :)
And now...CHRISTMAS!
The happy chaos :)
"Santa" - hahaha!!! Very creative though...
This was his "smile" - what a little punk ;)
Marieke and M - she wasn't trying to choke her...promise :) Although she's never happy with getting homework...
Me and T :)
Cute!
Me and one of my favorite little men :) He is such a goober though...that is NOT a real smile haha
Little dude with Santa - check our that beard!
Another one of the girls from Bel Air - isn't she gorgeous??
This little one is such a cutie, and I think she knows it ;)
And another...
She didn't pose as well for me...I think she wanted to TAKE the picture...
T and her gift...which she insisted on putting BACK in the wrapping...silly girl!
"Miss! Take a picture of me!" :) This guy is so sweet - I've only hung out with him twice [he is not at Bel Air], but he is so well mannered!
Well folks, there you have it! The term has FLOWN by! I can't believe all these "wrap up" events are already taking place/over!!! CRAZY!
Hope everyones' Thanksgivings were full in the truest sense of the word.
