We decided to turn the mayhem of the election into a little family party which led to some history lessons and education on the process. The girls helped make the star cookies as I worked on getting the jello to set. We went for the all American blue and white theme for dinner having little smokies (a step up from hot dogs), potato salad and fruit kabobs along with sweet treats and red vines symbolizing our country needing to stand together no matter what the outcome. The kids really enjoyed watching the news as many questions were asked and the opportunity to explain in a healthy way laid before us. As like many of you, we started to fall asleep and didn't make it all night. The big announcement was a delayed replay with the kids by our sides watching speeches and quite frankly, laughing hysterically at Trump's son who clearly should have gone to bed himself. Poor kid was yawning, shaking himself awake and doing head bobs.

Tim made his way back to Cambodia once again to make it possible for couples to hear the truth about marriage, have opportunity to grow together and to also encourage Pastor Sophea in Phnom Penh. Erik Vanderpol, co-worker and life long friend, came along this time, as well as Hans and Star Molegraaf to lead the marriage conference. The kids and I kept busy decorating for Christmas, preparing for Myriam's birthday, visiting with Auntie and hanging out with friends. More on this trip to come!
