The past few weeks have been completely nuts and jam packed with all sorts of holiday celebrations. First was the Kermasse, which is a huge fair put on by the school for all the students and their families. I was told that it was kind of a big deal but was pretty shocked when I got there and saw tons of vendors, including a pet shop and a hair salon (actually giving haircuts), a zip line stretching across the soccer field, two stilt walkers, and very elaborate talent show.
Another one of our holiday celebrations was the Winter Festival. This is the one where each class performs a song and dance for their parents and family members. I think I already mentioned that I took on the job of directing both numbers which turned out to be 70% stressful and 30% fun. But when it came time for the big show, I don't think I have ever felt like such a proud mother. I had a huge smile on face throughout both performances and was so impressed by how well they did. It was also great to talk to some parents afterward and hear how much they enjoyed each of the numbers and how proud they were seeing there children on stage. It felt like quite a success and all of the hard work definitely paid off.
Here are some pics of me and my kids from the festival:
Well, I am heading home on Thursday and will be there until January 15th so peace out blog readers, see you in about 3 weeks!!
