My Girls

I (Anna-Lisa) call them "my girls". These are the girls that attend my "small group". Usually, we have a book study every week. Every six weeks or so, we have a fun day. This time I had them all over for a popular Philippine treat called halo-halo. It's made from crushed ice with different add-ins, including but not limited to banana, strips of fresh coconut, fruity things (don't know what to call them or how to describe), rice crispies, ube (another item that I don't know how to explain, but it is my favorite ingredient), piece of flan, and evaporated milk. It's served with the add-ins on top and then the person eating it, stirs it up. They tell me that halo-halo means mix-mix. It's one of my favorite things now. We are so thankful to our friends, the Dillman's, who gave Jayson a snowcone maker for Christmas just so we could make this delicious treat. The ice was perfectly shaved. The girls also enjoyed playing on our Wii. Another item that we are thankful for getting at Christmas. We had a lot of fun. I mostly had fun watching the girls enjoy themselves.
