Saturday we took the kids to see a family in Milwaukee that has a ministry to missionaries. They help with debriefing, and transition. Garth and I have met with them twice, and thought it would be wonderful for the kids to talk with them as well. It turned out to be quite helpful. The kids loved having someone to tell their stories to. Everything they are going through is a normal part of transition, and culture shock. I am glad that we went.
After that we decided to all go to Southridge Mall to see the Christmas decorations and do some shopping. It was Christmas of 2006 the last time we went to a mall at Christmas as a family. It was a bit crazy, and crowded, but we still had a good time. We got our picture taken with Santana Dotson, and Leroy Butler of the Green Bay Packers, took the kids to the Disney store, Cale rode in the train, and we found a funny, glow in the dark mini-golf place.
Sunday we went to my parents for a nice meal and them decorated our own gingerbread houses. They were very unique and creative. It was a lot of fun!
I put some pictures below.
Hope you are enjoying the season!
Love
Rachel
