A Weekend of Parties!

This past weekend, including Thanksgiving, we attended 6 parties! Two on Thanksgiving, two going away parties(one with our Bible Study group for Scott and Sherry), and two birthday parties! What a busy weekend! The girls participated in a Christmas program as well this week. Evie wasn't too sure of it all. So she just stood there with her fingers in her mouth. And at one point was crying. But it was her first performance so a little stage fright was to be expected. Mylee's class did the Christmas story and Mylee was a shephard. Below is a video of her class reciting in Spanish Luke 2:14. In spanish it says: Gloria a Dios en las alturas, y en la tierra paz a los que gozan de su buena voluntad. In English: Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace good will to all men. You can't really understand them but you can watch Mylee perform. She wasn't shy at all! The other video is of Mylee taking her turn at a pinata at a Costa Rican birthday party she was invited to. They had the party at McDonald's. Mylee had a great time playing with all her friends. There are also some pictures of a Cultural Day we had at school. They taught us Christmas Carols of Latin America and portrayed what is called Las Posadas. This is where the children of a Catholic Church dress up as Mary and Joseph and walk around to preselected houses singing a song about Mary and Joseph looking for an Inn. When they reach the final house they are accepted into the home for coffee and cookies and they sing carols and pray. So the teachers portrayed this for us. We then had Tomales, and hit pinatas. You will not want to miss some of these pictures! If you want to hear the sound on the videos be sure to scroll down and push pause in the red music box in the left column.
