I had a wonderful Christmas this year!! One of my favorite parts was having some Chinese friends to my home...24 to be exact. It was a very special evening as we celebrated the real meaning of the holiday. They are all brothers and sisters which made it all the more fun. The following are some pictures from the event.
Decorating Christmas cookies. Yummy!!! It was the first time any of them had done this before.
Watching "The Nativity."
Opening gifts - My roommate and I purchased gifts for every one of them. Many of them had never received a Christmas gift before. They felt blessed but I was the blessed one. It was soooo much fun to watch them as they received their gifts.
No party is complete without food. They sure could eat. I made four batches of Christmas cookies, 12 pounds of chicken wings, a huge pile of mandarin oranges, as well as a very large bag of cashews. It was all gone and this was only a snack after they had eaten supper!!!
