Every Thanksgiving, we head down to Mexicali to an orphanage called Cahova. We have been visiting the boys for about 6 years now. It all began in the summer where we would meet them at a camp and we would put on a Vacation Bible School for them. After the first trip, we fell in love with the sweet boys of Cahova and decided to travel to their orphanage over our Thanksgiving break. We just love it! This year we decided to put on Christmas in November for the boys. We gathered their Christmas wish lists and purchased what they wanted. I really don't think it would have been possible without the help of our family and friends. We gathered over 40 gifts, a Christmas tree, several ornament crafts, and a traditional Christmas dinner, ham, potatoes and rolls. For dessert, what else but PIE!
Our first order of business before entering into Mexico, was a visit from our good friend Trace. We took him out to dinner before he left for North Carolina where he will serve our country in the Marines. .
