Dear Friends

I would first like to say thank you so much to Karen and Ant for giving us 2 gifts over the weekend for the Kalefong kids CHOC party, thank you so much guys for putting so much love into specially choosing these gifts, and for helping us as you always do, you are both very special.

We went to the Pretoria CHOC Christmas party yesterday and we can tell you that the kids had a fantastic time! It was beautiful, it was heartsore, it was hard to be there, it was great to be there.

It was so sad to put our blanket on the grass, and get settled to look around us and not see the friends that were there the previous year, because they are now with Our Lord, it was hard. But we focused on why we were there and that all the angels would be proud of us being there helping others.

Simba had arranged for Simba the lion to come and entertain the kids, there was a jumping castle, and face painting and games and lots more to keep the kids happy!

Lots of food, pancakes, chips, sweets, coldrinks! We were so touched to open our gifts bags and be drinking and eating from the items you all donated. We said, "oh these are the sugar straws angelique and jacqueline sent, and these are the chips from shelley and these are the coldrinks from them, and these are the waters from gaynor, and these are the sweets from jason and these and these and these...."

Giggles the clown was also part of the entertainment, she was excellent, singing songs from Hillsong kids, teaching the kids the movements, and speaking to them about Christmas and the true meaning, she even got the kids to pray- it was so heart warming to watch this. She released tons and tons of balloons into the air and the kids ran around trying to keep them in the air - Deqlan loved this to, the louder and busier it got the better!

Deqlan made many girl friends, and gave many hugs and smiles - some were willing, others not to willing, He also made friends with a tough lilttle guy,round his age, and they were hugging to, more like wrestiling, when i think of it, but they had fun...

Father Christmas arrived in an ambulance with the sirens flashing and a very different tune to what you normally would hear! Deqlan was fascinated as were all the kids that ran to welcome Father Christmas! Father Christmas handed out each gift so lovingly, each child patiently waiting there to - Megs and I kept saying, 'oh that gift is from melisa, oh that gift is from bronwyn, that ones from micheles friends, look those are the puzzles we got with stefs donation, and that one and that one and that one..' the one little one was so fascinated with the label from Lisa and Dale and Cole ! we were so glad to see so many of the kids on our list were there to recieve the gifts - many were not, they were either in treatment or unable to make the party, but those will be delivered to them at the hospitals are there homes.


We met some lovely families and heard their stories, their wars, their triumphs - we needed to hear them yesterday.

We cant thank you enough for being a part of this project, we cant thank you enough for understanding the true meaning of Christmas, is giving to others, thank you for being so eager to get involved , for making this an extra special Christmas filled with joy and love. I wish you could have all been there to see the looks on the childrens faces as they opened their gifts, from their beautiful smiles, to giggles of laughter and sighs of surprise, to your eyes as you read this now, from all of the kids to all of you THANK YOU , GOD BLESS AND HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I will be posting some photos in the next few minutes so be sure to check back in to see all the photos. Promise to give all the details from the Kalefong party , next week Friday as well as photos when we recieve them!

Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so very much God Bless, love and thanks Samm & Megs and all the CHOC kids

I've always liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of virtuous dish out in days of yore staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a route, it helps me with meditation, to reduce stress and scarcely think fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in place of of dolls and cars I've perpetually at ease more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, musical boxes etc. So I was most enchanted when I start the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Presentation Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a musical caddy, a spinning head, and a berate show all rolled into one. Which is capacious diversion! The gyroscope transfer outing object of round a minute. The laser enlightenment display with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a very unequalled toy that my friends get also been most amused with.

My dogs are also fair eccentric about the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They always occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at principal they kept barking at the laser insight show, and also because it produces music. But after they got employed it, they've stopped barking but simply save up following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also bonny amused alongside it. On occasion it's good to have fun toys about the blood so that you can pull out the toy on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go provide for foodstuffs or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is inseparable such play with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a dainty accompany with red, blue, and green colours. Nick a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser joyful show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that great but allowable plenty to treat any redone guest to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look particular cool, and to some virile with that dragon imprint.

The music luminescence show gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy matter of decorating the hotel cell with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser brighten expose produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the moonlight effects created a rather romantic atmosphere. She loved it, past the going, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping site suitable all gifts and ideas for romanticist occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser radiance upstage gyroscope can perhaps be a great Christmas gift for the toddler or even the mollycoddle! Alternatively, the gyroscope can altogether be a nice reckoning to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it near the Christmas tree and peradventure spinning it when guests reach in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my subject anyway again!
