It's a Christmas Miracle!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ZAMBIA!

Christmas Eve with the Hoover's!

Hangin out with Santa in Lusaka!

On Christmas Ever we went over to a Missionary Families house, The Hoover's, and hung out.  We played a few games, did White Elephant, and ate.... A LOT!  It was such a great night.  After that, we spent the night with Kristi and got up early to make breakfast together while watching classic "ELF".  I got to talk to my wonderful mother and sister this morning and take my first "REAL" shower since being if Africa!  SO NICE.

Happy Birthday Pic from Sara's night on the town!  Thank you guys for hangin out with us.  It was a great day of Celebrating the birth of Sara Blumeshine!

Last week we did preventative maintenance with the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students.  They worked so hard on the following projects that Friday was simply a movie day with their teachers!  ;o)  After a long week of work, we watched "The Lion King" and "The Incredibles"!  Gosh, we have some of the best students in Zambia!  Check out their work below...

Project One:
We painted all the way around the based of the school black

Project Two:
We painted all the chalk boards in the classrooms and the walls that surround them!

Project Three:
See that beautiful fence... who would have thought that we had the skills to do such a thing!
It was a horrible job and we have the pains to prove it, but it is complete!

Project Four:
Two classrooms got the awesome Alphabet painted!
These kids are going to be so stinkin` smart!  Too bad Lawrence tried taking our paint... urgh...
