<p>The beginning of many, many, many storytimes.</p>

<p>Christmas Eve &#8211; with Olivia&#8217;s husband&#8217;s Zack&#8217;s mom, Cindy.</p>

<p>Christmas Morning</p>

<p>Harold and Joan, Deanna&#8217;s parents who were deeply involved in the Xingu Mission in the early years, won a gift at a foster care event. They are still active foster parents in their 80s, and outstanding in their field. They might be the best foster parents in all of Canada. I think they are. They regifted their award to Anni for her exceptional sistering all year.</p>
