I can't believe I forgot to blog this day! A couple weekends ago, we celebrated Ethiopian Christmas called Genna at the annual Ethiopian Kids Community party. We all dress up in Ethiopian clothing, eat Ethiopian food, peruse the Ethiopian goods for sale, do crafts and play, and top it all off with dance performances by the kids. Raina and Fantaye performed in different groups this year because of their ages. Raina proudly showed off the new dress that we bought her as her gown from ET was showing considerable wear. These dresses are created here in the Ethiopian style, but out of a much more durable fabric. The girls did a fantastic job of dancing and we were so proud of them. Raina seemed to have overcome her shyness and really started to get in the groove. Fantaye was one of the older girls in her group and she was a good leader. We are so thankful that we have a community of people to gather with to celebrate the Ethiopian culture and to share memories and moments with. What a blessing!
Malkum Genna!
