The Holiday Season!!

We had a great Thanksgiving Dinner with 50 Logos staff and families. We got to eat lots of American food, Gideon played some touch football, and they even watched the NFL network. Some of our Khmer staff even ventured to come try some of our food. My TA Sorphorn, next to me in the picture below, when asked what food she liked said, "Well the chicken, but no rice, and the corn on the cob, but I don't know what this is (pointing to the yolk part of the deviled egg)." She ate all of the Khmer salad she had brought and had a lot of leftovers on her plate, but at least she tried lots of new things. We had ordered 15 pre-baked chickens that got delivered whole. Lorissa, the gal helping me plan, nor I had any idea how to cut the chickens, but we were going to try our best. Thank goodness one other Khmer staff, new how to use the big butcher knife. She chopped up those chickens in about 10 minutes. Enjoy some pics!

This last weekend Gideon and I decorated our Christmas tree that the Weiss family gave to us at the end of last year as they were packing up and getting ready to go back to Canada. We did not have a Christmas tree last year, and it makes our apartment so homey this holiday season. Thank You Weiss Family. We put our tree in our bedroom because that is the place where we spend most of our time while we are home. Our couches in our living room do not have any cushions and they are not quite so comfortable to sit on. We've been falling to sleep with the beautiful glow of Christmas tree lights! AHHHH

Merry Christmas from Kai at 18 weeks in the tummy

The beautiful glow of the tree!
