Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!!!...a little overdue

So it's been a while since we last posted, but I can say that we have been very, very busy lately.  November-February are the busiest time of year for us.   We have had to prepare for open class, where the parents come in and watch class for a day.  It takes a lot of preparation and practice before it gets the big "OK" from the boss!  Jeff's class is also preparing for annual performance.  Its the big performance at the end of the year.  The kids have to put on a play and perform two songs.  It's like a mini broadway production!  On top of all that, we have been busy with holiday activities!


HALLOWEEN
We had a room decorating contest for Halloween.  I was in a serious competition with one of the other girls...she took first place and I took second :(

We also made a haunted house that the kids got to walk through.  It was pretty scary, and I even had some kids cry.  My kids were so cute!  Jeff didn't get any pictures of his kids, though.

 My girls!

 My boys!

 Cute little shark!

Korea doesn't really celebrate Halloween, so its hard to find costumes.  Angry Birds are so popular here, so Rachel and I bought some felt and a glue gun and made these costumes for the 5 of us.  They went over really big with the kids!

ST. LUCIA

Over Thanksgiving, we were lucky enough to be able to negotiate a vacation into our contract.  My best friend, Christine, was getting married in St. Lucia and I could not miss the wedding!!  It was nice because we had a two day layover in St. Louis, so we got to spend some time with Jeff's family and some friends!

 The view from our room!  Gorgeous!

 Can't complain!

 Best friends!

 Heading to dinner.

 The Pitons!

 Mud bath!

 Jeff and I, Christine and Jason, my mom and dad!

The wedding party

The wedding was beautiful!  It rained all morning, but cleared up just in time for the wedding.  It was perfect!  We felt so lucky to have the time off to spend with friends and family!  

On Christmas eve, we will  leave for our last big trip!  We are heading to Thailand!  We will spend two days in Bangkok, then head south to the islands.  

We have also booked plane tickets to come home.  We will be arriving home March 4th!  Can't wait to see everybody!  I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
