We spent Christmas day at a local orphanage here in Chiang Mai helping provide lunch for the children and workers. There are 26 children in the home, 21 boys and 5 girls. Each year the children are asked what they would like for Christmas dinner and they request hamburgers! As we prepared to leave one of the workers from the home presented us with a gift for coming, with it was a card that the children had made. It was an absolutely beautiful card. Inside the card many of the children signed in Thai with a couple in English. One especially touched our hearts. It said "...In Christmas time, I hope you have a good time with your parent..." Although we won't physically be with our parents this Christmas, we want you to know we love you and are spending this Christmas with you in our hearts. We are blessed to have a wonderful, supportive family! We love you all.
Yum, Yum! These hamburgers are so good! How many can I have?
This little boy was precious! He enjoyed every bite of this strawberry cupcake.
Each of the younger children were provided with a sweatsuit and the older boys received jeans.
A fun time was had by all!

I am very interested in your orphanage. The number of boys verses girls is amazing to me.
May God Bless You and Your Family>
