School Programs, Parties and Festivals

We are back into our routine now that the holidays are over.  The girls are back in school and I am on a work schedule.  It has been chilly here over the past week or and we have been staying warm with our fireplace and layers of clothes.  No snow, just cold temps in the low thirties.

While downloading all the pictures from our Christmas trip, I came across some others that were worth sharing.

This was E's first day of International School. She still loves school. 

Our December was filled with the girls' Christmas programs, festivals and parties. This was Ellis' school's party where they enjoyed foods and traditions from all over the world. E is holding a piece of cheese and LC has a piece of prosciutto. 

Here they are holding up a picture of E's class. 

LC had to get a cavity filled in her tooth. She picked the strawberry scented nose piece that helped pipe laughing gas into her body. It went as well as it could go -- she was a bit cranky once the numbing juice started to wear off. 

This is LC's friend, Maria. She is also in kindergarten (although a different class) and she is also our neighbor. 

Here is LC, Maria and their friend Carter (who is also a neighbor of ours). This was after their Christmas program at school. 

This is LC's class. Her teacher is Ms. Bidez and her helper is Mr "G". 

This was E's Christmas program at church.
