Christmas in Kibos

This morning, we went to George's parent's house in Kibos to celebrate Christmas. Here, Christmas is not about gifts at all, but about being together to celebrate Christ's birth. We had a great time. There were a lot of people there and lots of food! Our desserts were a hit. I also made garlic mashed potatoes that were so yummy.

There were games...



Dancing...



Walks in the wood...



A Christmas treee (branch, really)



Food (Chicken, rice, fish, beef, chipatti, mashed potatoes, ugali, sakuma wiki and more..



Scripture reading and a speech by my youngest brother in law, Ken





And a song...



It was a really nice day. I miss being with my family in the US, but the Okechs made me feel at home.
