I am still trying to catch up on posts from our busy New Year's season. On January 8th we hosted two New Year's parties. Instead of trying to get these parties in before New Year's we decided to do them while the children had vacations so that we could spend more time with them.
In the morning we hosted a party for all the children that we sponsor (except the youngest children's groups) at Saramoldaeva Orphanage. We played games, did crafts, played more games, ate snacks, and gave them small gifts. We even gave them an opportunity to write a letter to their sponsors. They had a great time - so did we!
In the evening we hosted a party for Rakhym. We played games, shot off some great fireworks, ate grilled hamburgers (a first for these children) and even ended the evening singing happy birthday to the two boys. The favorite games of the night were spoons and operation. The evening went by extremely quickly, as 10pm came before we knew it and it was time to get them home so that they could get to sleep for their first day of school.
This day marked the final day of our New Year's celebrations. What a fun and busy month it was!
