The Christmas goods we sent to the orphanage.
Notice there are no noisemakers...I would hate to be denied once we arrived!
Today is officially Christmas in Ukraine! We mailed this care package and hope it reaches the children unopened. We have heard of packages being open and rummaged through before making it to its final destination. We crossed our fingers and taped a million notes in Russian that it was for "ORPHAN CHILDREN" and taped a few pictures of Jesus to scare any would be thieves away. Kevin doesn't think my crafty tactics will work but who would steal with The Big Man watching......
and I am not talking about St. Nick!

So relived to have spoken to Sergei and knowing our letters were getting through. It makes everything just a little easier over here. We are in the middle of our last humongous stack of security papers which include two fingerprinting appointments and a Syphilis test to boot...Yowzer!
Well on that note...MERRY CHRISTMAS and I am taking the tree down tomorrow morning!
Merry Christmas, Sergei and Max. Next year you will be spending Christmas with your Mom and Dad and your sisters, boy will you have FUN!!
