We spent the evening last night (after VBS in other districts) decorating and preparing for our BIRTHDAY PARTY!!
These are some of the dresses that Kristin finished last night as well! Each girl has one, and each of us do too, so she made a total of 14!! She did such a beautiful job.
This was my Pin the Tail on the Donkey project :) I will never take those pre-made ones you buy from the store for granted after this! But it was lots of fun. The kids enjoyed this new game.
All the girls in their dresses!! Their mom's were SO excited when they saw them in the dresses. They kissed their girls as if they were congratulating them. It was so sweet. We all had the same dress pattern, so we all matched. We also bought each boy a t-shirt; they were all excited too.
We ate cupcakes that Kaylee made!! This is Ada, who LOVED her cupcake. I think it lasted her a good thirty minutes. She is adorable. The kids all enjoyed these treats!
MERRELLI. The hunk of love I wish I could take home :)
As I have written this, and looked through so many pictures, it's hard to believe that we'll be kissing these beautiful faces goodbye in one week. I'm so torn because I miss my loved ones and all my family more than anything. But at some point in the past seven weeks, these people have become our family too. They are so unbelievable. We love each one of them. We are finished with the after school program now, but will continue outside 'play time' whenever we can! The rest of this week will be full of VBS in different districts, and then we will be with the Restrick's for the weekend. Keep the kids in your prayers and all the churches that we will be visiting too.
Love Always, Allyson
Additional Prayer Request: There is a team from different churches in Tennessee that left for Guatemala early, early this morning. One of my best friends Emily is on the trip, keep her and her team in your prayers as they show the Jesus Film and evangelize to those people. They will be gone from 14th-21st. Thanks!!
