Christmas Party

Today we had a great time, we went to a Filipino Christmas party. We were welcomed by two families when we got there. One family I met on line from my Yahoo Group of people adopting from the Philippines and the other family we know from the boys' school. There was constant action the entire time and we had fun. They started the program with a children's choir singing songs in English. Liam was invited up and ran up there without a second thought, wish we had pictures to share, but we didn't bring our camera.
After that they had an adult choir caroling songs in Tagalog. Next, there was a little play about how Christmas is celebrated in the Philippines, the boys' friends from school were both in the little play. In between all of the action they gave away raffle drawing prizes and door prizes. Ryan bought a raffle ticket and signed us both up for the door prizes. At one point they called Ryan's name for the raffle and Liam picked the winning envelope. They had different money amounts in the envelopes, mostly $5 bills. Liam picked a lucky one with a check for $50, that is money towards the adoption! It is so meant to be. Later when they served this huge lunch we were in line and my name was called I won a door prize of "desert plates". We were feeling lucky, that was for sure. We had a great time meeting so many new people and we are looking forward to attending again next year.
