Elementary Christmas Concert

Last night was our elementary Christmas concert. My kids were so dressed up...so adorable.

Here we are lined up with nowhere to go.

Here's my tall Tugi hanging out in the first grade line.

Checking out our ties.

Most of them are so little they got lost in the midst of the first and second graders. They're the tiny row in the middle.

International Charity Bazaar

Yesterday I spent some time at the UN's Charity Bazaar. There were rooms full of different handicrafts and food from many countries. There was also a parade of costumes of the world. Here you see my grumpy Mikias from last year and my tiny Kidu from this year.

Thanksgiving I

My contribution to our first Thanksgiving of the season - chocolate cake with coffee cream cheese frosting.

Happy Birthday Tugi

One of the benefits of teaching is birthdays. There's nothing better than free cake to celebrate a kid's birthday. And this one topped the charts...chocolate mousse cake with dark chocolate frosting. Tugi is now my favorite kid.

Mini Me?

Look how cute my Noah is in my hat!
