We had our annual Christmas party on the 23rd. We try to take the time every year to tell our staff how much they mean to us and invite special friends as well. We share traditional African food of rice and sauce and I bake a boatload of cookies and cake and muffins. 50 people managed to consume 4 batches of peanut butter cookies, 4 batches of sugar cookies, 8 batches of pumpkin muffins, 4 batches of banana bread, 2 batches of snickerdoodles, 1 chocolate cake and 3 gallons of KoolAid! Aside from that they each ate several plates of rice and sauce! This year we made popcorn balls for all of the guests to enjoy and got the kids a little gift to take home. It's always SO MUCH WORK, but because we have their undivided attention we get to share the reason we celebrate Christmas.
Mike let me share the story this year and I told of God's plan from creation to redeem mankind by sending His son as the perfect sacrifice. It was a fun night. We hope you had fun celebrating the Son wherever you are!
