The Girls’ first Christmas

The sisters enjoyed being at a Christmas banquet

This was the first time that these girls experienced a real Christmas. In Ukraine Christmas is barely noticed. You can see holiday decorations like trees and Santas, but they are all about New Years. Christmas is officially on January 7, but is very down-played. We had to explain to the girls that Christmas is the celebration of the birthday of Jesus. They were very happy to hear that! They have each made a decision to follow Jesus.

They had lots of fun helping with the decorations.

As a result of a generous gift the girls got to attend a performance of the play "The Grinch."
