Christmas in Pictures









I'm sorry I"m a little technologically challenged, so I can figure out how to put a caption under each picture, so I"ll just explain them now(top to bottom).

  1. Christmas morning with our boys before we went to church!
  2. Our beautiful Charlie Brown Christmas Tree, yes it's fake.
  3. Brima with his stocking that we made, we were trying to introduce the stocking tradition to Sierra Leone.
  4. David with his stocking
  5. Brima playing outside, having an opportunity to be a child!
  6. Aminata(one of the sweetest community children, she mimicks us a lot so we have a chance to see what we look like and sound like!) at our church service for the community kids where we passed out presents and breakfast.
  7. Alice in her shades! At Christmas all the kids get these sunglasses, watches and a new outfit! Alice tends to suck her tongue, can you tell!
  8. Spengy, Abdu, and Momoh receiving their Christmas presents, wearing their new cloths that make them look like gangsters!
  9. Theresa and Isata in their frilly dresses! Yes, we had a home full of princesses and gangsters on Christmas morning!
  10. On Boxing Day, Dec. 26, we were feeling a bit brave and took all the children to the beach(one of the busiest beach days of the year, oh and did I mention that there were 90 children?) Being brave really wasn't enough, lets just say I prayed the whole time we were there! Life guards aren't really a priority and the children don't know how to swim. Only by the grace of God!
