TCK Youth
YunYun hanging her Christmas ornament on the tree. We took four weeks to go through the Christmas Story and each week we made a different ornament that the kids could hang on their tree. Since most of the kids don't have a tree, we made a temporary paper one in the classroom.
The desserts that we brought for BSF....cookies and lemon millefoglie.
My gift from Songhee bloomed!
In the metro heading to BSF
The tree this year at the Spanish Steps
Love these BSF ladies!
This was my crazy idea for a game at TCK Youth. I thought counting candy was too easy and opted for counting how many nerds are in the jar. It took FOREVER to count...haha!

Katherine opened up her gift and had a cute little dog Leggo thing. It was adorable and Lauren really wanted to steal it (her turn to go was next) She decided to let her sister keep the gift and picked a new one.
She opened her gift and had the exact same dog!!
No one could believe it!
And the excitement in the room

Katherine won the game
Her guess: 7650 Actual: 7470 That's a pretty impressive guess!

The girls and Jonathan went to a movie, so Hudson and I had our own little date....dessert at McD's
and spent an hour in LeRoy Merlin looking at bathroom stuff. Hudson wants a fancy soap dispenser...
...and fancy shower heads...
...and exploring devices in the Apple Store. It was a Hudson kind of day.
The American Candy Store was closing so we stopped by to say bye to Lucinna
Stella came to visit
We have been saving up for a few years and hiding this gift for 6 months for Jonathan. We finally got him a Hexclad pan for cooking!
They got me a really nice warm black jacket. It's amazing!
