December is always a big month for H2H activities! This year was no different. We spent most of the month having Christmas parties at various locations with the kids. We played dress the snowman.
This is a favorite game called Pass the Parcel. Unwrapping a candy bar that has been wrapped with tons of paper and tape with gloves is the challenge. All while dice are flying. It is a fun challenge to see who ends up with the candy bar.
December is also the time for Christmas Programs. This year we had a special program in Rosiori, in which we rented a small hall and had singing, skits, dance, and poems. The kids did great--and nothing started on fire!
While Doro took a break from the Boys Transition House the boys came and spent a week at the Team House. We tried to do many activities to make this time special for them. One evening we went looking at Christmas lights around the city.
Christmas Day, the boys got to open stockings and presents from under the tree with their names on them, a first in most of their lives. It was fun to be able to be there to help make their first Christmas with a family special.
Christmas Day, of course, meant the whole gang was together. These are the families within our group, with the 4 "grandkids."
