It has been a busy past few weeks! We moved into our new school on Sunday, November 19, I turned 25 on November 21, I was home for Thanksgiving to see family and friends until November 25, and then I came home to Monterrey and was met by our wonderful women's group from Cincinnati! It is always my favorite week of the year because women from my home town, many of them mothers of my friends from grade school, come to spread Christmas cheer to all the casa hogares we work in. As always, it was a delight to have them on campus. One morning, Angie Carl and Angela Stutz, both CHCA moms, came to my classroom to do Christmas crafts with my students!
I was also able to participate in a girls night we did at LDM tonight. We invited the girls from Douglas and the girls on campus to get dressed up- we did their hair, make-up, and nails, and the boys served us a fancy dinner. Later, we decorated gingerbread houses and sang Christmas songs! I was especially excited to see Lizeth and Diana who now live in Don Lalo's children's home. It has been months since we've seen them since they left Douglas and they seem happy and up to their usual tricks! :)
