GIVE THANKS!

" Give thanks to the Lord for HE is good. His love endures forever!

The kids were having a week of vacation. This time I was molding them to be more responsible. I asked them to help do household chores.  One day, Johan baked some yummy chocolate chip cookies with peanut butter! While Marielle was washing the dishes and helped painting the hen house.

On Thanksgiving day no one from the American folks invited us for thanksgiving instead  most of them left on vacation.  However, we invited few of our friends to eat with us for thanksgiving!

Johan and Marielle had to paint these words to place on top of our table.

The table was set for our dinner!

Some candle-lighting to make the home cozy!

We invited the Henradno family, Yeti with Nikita  Marielle's Indonesian classmate at school with her dad! They are the owner of Victory Store in Sentani.

We had Leon and Lauren Dillinger with us. They have been missionaries in Irian Jaya (Papua, Indonesia) for 50 years! They mentioned that the first pilot at that time was Betty Green. The first female pilot of MAF way 1950's! How cool is that?

That was a very special day! 

We Give Thanks!

Theme: Disney Characters!

Month of November is a crazy busy month for expatriates.  Around 5 years ago, Papua was considered to be remote... but after that Papua is climbing into civilization!  Why did I say that? Do you know that Papua, Indonesia has its own fancy Mall and a  Cinema? Are we hapy about that?  Well, if you only know about Papua. That is the best perk we have living here. 

To go back to being busy, the expatriate community thrive by uniting themselves, expressing and performing their talents as a way of entertainment.  HIS International School Seniors held a concert with the theme of "Be Our Guest" in which performers were to wear Disney Characters costumes.

Viewers were also asked to wear disney costumes if they liked to.  Therefore our creative thinking activated and design a Tinker Bell costume for Marielle! Eventhough, she wasn't one of the participants we want her to feel special and be part of it! The costume is the left-over fabric of the kids poufs/seats. Here she is:

Our little Tinker Bell!

Tinker Bell with Captain Hook

Finally, Tinker Bell is with her brother that wanted to be normal as he can be!
