" Ohana means family, family means nobdoy gets left behing or forgotton" Lilo and Stich

Monday December 8 started the 12 days of Christmas at school. That means that every day was an activitie or theme at school.

Monday was PJ day, The best one, all in PJ to school. We should intoduce that day also in the Netherlands. Thursday after school we went to Bridhewater with Mom, Jayme and Luiz. We eat some pizza and drove to Chester to go the Semi Formal at FHCS.Friday came santa at school and we could make some pictures with him.

The weekend saturday we went out for supper for nanny her birthday and after supper we went to the hockey game. Sunday we had a NSISP christmas dinner with all the internenation students. Also santa was there for some pictures. Yes it is cold here and we had some days snow already but for chritmas girls wear shorts and dresses.

Tueasday we had a Cake auction at school. Crazy to watch that something like that happen at a highschool. Some cakes where sold for $80. Wednesday Ugly Christmas Sweater day. My second favourite. Also we went this day to the elementary school to talk about the christmas in our country with all the internatiol student. The kids where very interesting in our stories. The most interesting they where in our schools our food and sports. Thursday was the day of the dance but first at school we had a potluck at yoga. We had a lot of food from all the different countries because we have a lot internationals in yoga. After school I went to Mika and Sanne with eddy to make ready for Semi. After a lot of fun we went to the dance. All the pictures you can find at the pictures. The little guy on the pictures is Ashton the little host brother of Sanne and Mika.

Friday the last day before the vacation. We had classes till 12:30 but I only went to my first class PE. After that we helped with cleaning the school and watch the christmas volleyball tournement.

And now I have vacation. I don't have a lot planned. I am pretty excited about Christmas because that will be a big different with what we do in the Netherlands.
