Yesterday while at work, a huge package came from my family! Hooray! We have our first Christmas presents!!!! ...in November, haha. We are excited for Christmas to arrive so we can open them all! We are so lucky to have such wonderful family members who send us presents even though we are far away. Nick's family is also sending a package to us soon, we can't wait for that one to come too! We are going to be getting a small tree (think desktop worthy) for our apartment and I will probably bring home hand crafted decorations for the apartment. My kindergarten kids are already in full swing with Christmas art projects and practicing Christmas carols. Each class has to learn a Christmas song to perform for our "pageant" on the 24th. My class is singing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". They have a whole dance routine and we are going to be making Santa hats with mistletoe on top. Nick's prekinders are singing "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth". Other classes are singing "Frosty", "Up On The Rooftop", "Rudolph" and more. Needless to say, it will be adorable when we get them all together to perform.
Today is our only day off this week, but at least we are finally done with Saturday classes! It is raining. We slept in, had a delicious lunch of curry katsu and sushi, and then did our grocery shopping for the week. We have been eating a TON of vegetables lately, so we picked up lots of fresh carrots, lettuce, eggplant, squash, zucchini, broccoli, peppers, and more. I made meatball and broccoli soup for dinner (I've been practicing making soups from scratch in preparation for the cold winter nights) and we bough a sliced baguette from Paris Baguette, the local bakery chain. It was pretty good, full of lots of the above veggies, haha. Now we are going to watch a movie and wish that tomorrow wouldn't come so quickly. At least now we get to fully appreciate our weekends!
