Baking Christmas Cookies


Yesterday morning was spent baking Christmas cookies with our friend Olive at our house and
then going to "Grandma Jean's" house to decorate cookies for the vegetable ladies and then
back to our house for more decorating of cookies. Abby and Anna played "Settlers of Catan"
with a friend up the hill during the very rainy afternoon!
Christmas Eve morning we went to where the vegetable ladies sell their goods and Grandma
Jean played the accordian and we all sang Christmas carols and gave each of them a cookie
with their initial on it. There are men there too, one sells beautiful roses (for about $2.50)
for a huge bunch and the others sell wood carvings and crafts. Towards the end of the party
they all started singing songs in Swahili and we really felt that we all had been blessed, they
were very happy today and some days they just seem worn out and sad.
