More Christmas Activities And A Birthday

This past Thursday was the Peris kid's Christmas program. They preformed plays, sang songs and even had a dance. It was fun to watch them preform and they had so much fun doing it.

The first play, about Santa Claus.

The second play, about Christmas trees.

One of the programs we've done at the orphanage this year is the dance class. This was the debut and the kids did great!

Us with Cladiu, who made sure to sit between us for the shows.

After the program at Peris, we had our staff Christmas party. We had an awesome spread of food and dessert. We played some games and exchanged gifts.

Yumm!

Heidi, our intern (who just returned home), read her awesome rap about all the staff.

The Staff at the party, we all had such a good time.

Saturday was Rebecca's birthday. We celebrated with some of the staff at Pipera. Krista made awesome stuffed french toast.


Jen and Krista shoveling snow. We got around 10 inches over the course of the week which Jen thinks is the total amount they got last year. We spent some time shoveling and then Krista and Heidi made a snow gnome. The week ended with a wonderful church service where we sang traditional Romanian Christmas carols and heard (and mostly understood) a nice Christmas message.
