The most lovely month of the year!

 Hello, hello friends and foe! I would like to give you a snapshot of what my favorite month of December has been like thus far! I have been busy with teaching my 5th graders, prepping for the end of the quarter, and battling the bugs that tend to crawl through the cracks! Life continues to be wonderful in Myanmar and I must admit that I have been enjoying the time off from the crazy Christmas marketing that we see in the states.

As of late, I have decorated a tree, had some holiday chili, sung a few songs and supported my kids in all that they do! Merry Christmas everybody... to you and you and YOU!

RThis is San San, my little helper! She makes the BEST food and teaches me about the Myanmar culture day in and day out!

Here are my kids! The 5th grade team has been doing a fundraiser where we have been buying and donating books to go to a local library that is being started up in our neighborhood! Here are the 700+ books that we gave them to  get started! It was cool to see the assembly line and how they blessed the books when we passed them off!

Here are some of my friends, Jacob and Saint! I decided to have some friends over for Christmas chili night and Jacob got a hold of my camera...

We had our Christmas concert at school and of course I took advantage of the opportunity to take a picture of my kids when they were not in their uniform! It was a fun night and a great way to see all of the talent in the Elementary school!

I had a traditional Myanmar dress made and Ms. Theingi constantly calls me "the lady in red," whenever I wear it. It takes some getting used to when wearing it, but I feel more Myanmar when I do!

This was the last day of Hip-Hop! I had a blast learning the art of dancing, from my fabulous friend, Jess! She is an incredible teacher and we had a fun time working with the kids! If there was anything that the kids learned, it was having an attitude and knowing how to sick "Party in the USA" by Miley Cirus!
