Tis the season of celebration and love

What happens when you're craving pumpkin pie the entire month before Thanksgiving and the country you're in doesn't sell pumpkin?! 

Why, naturally you go out and stuff yourself with crepes full of nutella.  

The girls had their school performances and music performances this past week.  They really know how to ring in the holidays here.  Lots of music and dancing and celebrating going on.  From what we hear it lasts until the middle of January (the fireworks in the middle of the night I hope do not).

 
This is Sophia before her school performance.  They don't play around when it comes to color and sparkles here (for everything).  The more the better.  Not what we're used to but it's been fun!

   
     Amigas!




    Esme and her teacher.


With the girls out on a nice long school break we headed back up  the gondola to Angeles de Medellin.

 
This time we brought Lauren- one of the associates at Dan's law firm who is visiting.



     Some played a little soccer

 
     And this cute girl taught Emerick how to hula hoop

 
       And this guy was the perfect volunteer

 And this line of kids really REALLY tried to jump the rope together several several times.

   And we found random horses to ride

The kids even helped Dan put Emerick to sleep by walking and singing.  Check out the vimeo link below to hear them.
