There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

DECEMBER 22, 2014 -- NIGHT IN BETHLEHEM

NIGHT IN BETHLEHEM
December 22, 2014

One family tradition that we could not skip is our "Night in Bethlehem."  We invited a few school teachers and a few YSA's over for a nice evening of Christmas tradition and lots of fun.  We had to be a little creative with our menu, but it worked!  It was a successful evening!

We had delicious meatballs

Instead of chicken salad pitas we had egg salad on big bread sticks from the alley
