Quilts!

A few months ago a friend of Jairo's sent boxes and boxes full of canned turkey, bags and bags full of quilts, and buckets and buckets full of candy, lotion and hand sanitizer.  On Friday we had an "invite only" Christmas Feast for the kids of the Breakfast Program.  We gave the kids each a quilt and a goody bag full of candy, lotion and hand sanitizer.  (The canned turkey is long gone, but the kids loved it!)

At the Christmas celebration over 100 kids enjoyed Jairo's steak fajitas, rice, an apple, grapes and a salad.  They are getting accustomed to sit down meals with table clothes and decorations now.  They loved it and were so appreciative.  For many of these kids, this is their first blanket.  How many blankets do you sleep with at night? 



Jose please don't take apart the decorations :)




Anai is excited about her new quilt!





Beautiful Cessia





Anderson is eager to use his new quilt



Lorenzo!  His blanket has a heart, so he can always remember he is loved.





Our Christmas decorations.  Jairo calls it an African theme :)
Boats, Frogs, Turtles, Giraffes, and a giant burro
all hand painted by the kids!
