Today I was at school helping in Basil’s class. The third 3rd and 6th graders decorated gingerbread houses, together. The boys and I passed out our Christmas gifts to the teachers, baklava – made by the ladies of our Church. I enjoyed watching Basil’s, third grade class practice their latest poetry recitation. They are memorizing “Horatius at the Bridge”, in preparation for Roman Day. Tomorrow is the first grade’s class traditional formal Christmas lunch. Complete with candelabras, real china and good silverware, which in just a few hours I will be taking to school. Everything is ready to go. The children are all excited! All the children that have gone through first grade have really fond memories of the “formal” 1st grade Christmas lunch.

:heartbeat: What a cute little smile Maria-Angelica has! She looks like she really enjoys “helping” brother practice. The closeup of her looks like a little bruise on her forehead. Is she okay?
I really enjoyed the pictures of the boys at school. Basil looks like he had fun with his gingerbread house.
Thanks Maria. Oh the poor little dear is walking around so much and she got it in the head with the fridge door, Fr. felt SOOOO bad. She is so little and he didn’t see her there. She cried and we put ice and Arnica on the bump. It turned green right away and she had a little knot immediately.
Your children are always so precious. What a beautiful family you have!
Yum, could you send me some baklava?
