Thank you PAC moms!


This is Jen, with her baby in Haiti this past week. She worked really hard to get all of us adoptive moms as much info as she could while she was there. It happened she was there the same week as the Christmas party.



Our orphanage is divided into 2 houses, and the kids are placed according to age. The party started at the baby house.





Everyone gathered for a group picture

Now loading up to ride to the official party location





This is the bus from the guesthouse that the manager so kindly volunteered for the occasion.


I just loved this photo!



Time to unload that precious cargo!



They have arrived, and are joining the big kids
Here's my girl with her hair done! I'm partial but I think shes gorgeous!



Actually they're all gorgeous! The nannies put some serious time into all that hair...THANK YOU!!!!




Some of the girls put together a dance number, which they obviously worked very hard on.

Yes, some of us were slightly surprised by the outfits. Haitians are traditionally very conservative.


But I think actually it's done tastefully. That is Lise, front and center. She just blossoms here. I really hope she finds her forever family soon.Now the boys are involved, and you see what happens!


Santa Clause shows up!!!

Check out the link above for the live action. Where else are you going to hear Christmas carols played by a solo trumpheteer, with a pounding Haitian drumbeat in the background? Video taped and uploaded by Jen.


These are a mere fraction of the pictures and videos that were taken for this event and all that surrounded it. Isa (above) and Michelle (way up above, dancing) were also HUGE contributers. They worked really hard to help make this happen and to record it. I am in awe, and I can't begin to thank them enough.
