On Christmas day, we had a special Christmas dinner at Paul and Mary’s house for those who were around.  There was a ton of delicious food including baked ham and roast beef followed by some delicious homemade desserts.  For those who were not able to join us, we wish all of you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

This Saturday, we had an opportunity to visit Neighborhood Church and attend their annual Christmas musical production. We had an enjoyable time as we saw the Christmas nativity story brought to life with impressive backdrops, and professional acting and singing.  Afterwards, we had our annual Christmas party with delicious food and desserts, followed by a fun time of doing the Christmas gift exchange.  We closed off the night by singing Christmas hymns and being reminded through the songs what Christmas is truly about.

Today we had the opportunity to enjoy a very special presentation by our Joyland children’s department about the true story of Christmas and what Christmas is all about.  It was a night filled with excitement and lots of laughter as the children, including some our very own VSM children, performed various skits and songs so that we could all appreciate more the true meaning of Christmas.

This past Saturday, we headed out on the ferry to Angel Island, a historical landmark that was once the immigration center of the west for immigrants coming to America.  On the ferry ride over, we had a chance to see many other famous SF landmarks, including the Bay Bridge, Golden Gate bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Alcatraz Island which was once a maximum security prison for the worst of criminals.  Once we landed at Angel Island, we went on a hike to see the immigration center where the immigrants used to live and we were able to read many heart wrenching personal stories.  Afterwards, we hiked back down for a delicious BBQ lunch and enjoyed each others’ fellowship along with the nice sunny weather.  Check out some of the pics from the day below:
