Well, the kids officially finished their first semester at the local school. You can see some of the awesome things they made in the pictures below. They also did a short play in each grade. Kylie was a queen and Colt was supposed to be an ugly giant. haha. Their school moved this year and is now in the center of a village. So, that’s fun for them to be around roaming cows and chickens and see the farmers and fields every day. I took a few pics and included those too. Caden loves to explore there too – he was chasing a puppy and somehow squeezed between two houses in a crack I thought would be too small.

Now we are on winter break from January 21 – February 21. During this time, everyone here will celebrate the biggest holiday of the year – Spring Festival. It’s comparable to Christmas in that everyone goes back home to be with family and eats lots of food

I’m enjoying this time when everyone is excited and the red lanterns are going up everywhere. It just a happy time. . . with lots of random fireworks.
