Operation Christmas Child and Referral Celebration

 This past weekend we got together with friends to celebrate Tymm, Laura and Meron's referral from Ethiopia!  We got festive with some African decorations and tunes, Ethiopia flags in our cupcakes and some Ethiopian pizza.
In honor of a sweet girl who waits in Ethiopia, we had the littles put together Operation Christmas Child boxes.  This project has been close to our hearts for many years, and it was with great joy that we watched our littles serve the children of the world.   

 We talked about the joy of making a child in need happy, and how we are blessed with so much.  There was candy, art supplies, socks and personal hygiene items to sort and share.   To personalize our gifts with a bit of love, we added a photo of our crazy group, and made hand print cards.  Somewhere in the world, our gifts will land in the hands and
children who might just need a little love.  
 


 Angela brought goodie bags in honor of LH3.  What a priviledge it is to celebrate another child coming home.   

Check out more cute photos of our fun night on Camp Hoffman.

Those cupcakes are TOO funny-I just made very similar ones today to celebrate our daughter's adoption finalization! (another IAN mom)
