Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is over, and Christmas has exploded here at the mountain!

But, before we dive into all the Christmas festivities going on here at the Mountain....lets talk about Turkey Day. We celebrated Thanksgiving on Saturday, and had around 60 to 65 people.

 There were four of us American girls that cooked, with some help here and there from others. 

Nancy, the directors wife, headed it up and did an amazing job! She also bought us all these cute little aprons to use! They are the cutest! 

Our menu consisted of Turkey, chicken, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, an apple and pear winter salad, rolls and punch to drink. Then we had pumpkin pie and apple crisp for dessert, of course! :) 

It was seriously so great to be able to introduce one of our holidays to the boys and staff here at Hope Mountain. It was truly a special day for us. 

We are thankful everyday, blessed beyond measure! 

And this was our day....

Today was such a great day with our boys. Beach days with these boys are some of my favorites!

Get ready for picture overload! There were just too many photos that I loved to keep it to a reasonable amount of pictures. My apologies. ;)

Happy Saturday everyone! :)

Weekend Recap!

Friday was a holiday here, so we had a loooong 3 day weekend. 

Friday was spent being pretty lazy. We played card games, charades, and had a movie night. 

 Then on Saturday, Phillip and Coreen (the founders of Hope Mountain) brought down a bunch of scooters and skateboards for the boys to play on. These scooters were some of the craziest scooters I've ever seen! Needless to say, the boys we had so much fun on them!

How cute is little Bella?! She is our pink princess here at the mountain :)

And, finally, Sunday evening we went on a trip to the beach. The sun was setting, the breeze perfect! The boys found an open court and played soccer for hours. Serioulsy, hours! Some of us headed to the water and dipped our feet in. Some of the crazier ones even got in.

     

It was the perfect ending to a pretty great weekend.
