Cookies and Cheers (But NO Tears)

Merry Christmas everyone!!!! This christmas was definitely a memorable one over here in Ukraine. I was able to skype my family and watch the annual present exchanges. I also got to celebrate christmas with the Kelly family. Man, I forget how exciting it is for Santa to come and all the preparation/anticipation that comes with Christmas...

My room all decorated, just in time for Christmas!

Snow Bunnies

Today was a babysitting day and the fist day for snow to stick on the ground all day long. The kiddos were super excited and HAD TO PLAY IN THE SNOW!! Thankfully Masha (my friend visiting) was there to get coats, boots, gloves and hats on all three kids with minimal tears. There wasn't enough snow to sled on or make a snowman but we still had fun. We went to "the hill" in the back of the property and ran up&down it a couple of times. Abbie can do it by herself but I had to help the other two quite a bit. Noah can barely walk in all his snow gear lol They really do make cute snow bunnies!

Watch Out For Them Injuns

This week we are learning about Indians. Can I just say I love Indians and learning about their culture! Highlights so far: making our own beats and songs in the classroom, watching real Indians dance, sing, and tell stories, making up stories from Indian writings.

(Abbie drew her own pictures and I had Sophie pick some for me to draw and then she added the faces and fingers lol)
