Day 25

I spent the night at the orphanage last night, so I woke up and immediately was with the kids. It is crazy how hot it is, even early in the morning! 

Even though the language barrier can get annoying, it is still so easy to love and spend time with these kids. We just hung out throughout the morning. Ashley had to oversee the kids write their sponsors cards. I helped some of the little ones decorate theirs :) 

Pretty much for the rest of the day we just prepared for the nursery kids' graduation party in the evening. We blew up balloons, made banners, made party hats, made a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey game, and got their gifts ready. Of course there was a lot of time throughout the afternoon that we spent just hanging out with the kids. 

Finally, the little ones had to go eat dinner and we started decorating the nursery for the party! We hung the balloons and the game and the banner that read "Congratulations!". We turned on party dance music and soon the kids walked in with eyes big and smiles on their faces! They all immediately started dancing, it was so cute! 

We gave them all their party hats first, then painted temporary tattoos on them, which they loved! We helped them make cross necklaces too :) They were all so excited. Then we ate DELICIOUS chocolate cake and gave the kids juice. It was then time to play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. They were so cute. They really tried to help each other put it in the right place, it was funny. Then we finished by giving the kids' their gifts! 

Each kid got their new outfit that Ashley's mom sent money for earlier in the week. Then we gave the four graduating kids new pencil cases with pencils and erasers, new cups, new spoons, gum and toothpaste. They were so excited. I think sometime this week they will move into the "big kid" dorms! It will be a really big adjustment for them to make. 

We finished off the night watching Aladdin in Thai :) 

It was a very good day. I had so much fun!
