You Know You Live in Texas When...
For those of you who followed my Korea blog, you know about my "Not Quite Right" postings of funny captions or things I'd see in Korea. WELL, I've discovered that Texas has some fun things to share as well!
Only in Texas would you find this bathroom sign...the hats and spurs are TOO funny!
This tree has an awesome cactus growing in it/from it...very cool!!
There are churches for Cowboys! And is the arena where you tie up the horses?
Pick a longhorn skull ....any skull ya want!
OR just put the horns on your car! Maybe paint the flag of Texas on the hood JUST to make sure everyone knows that you are a true die hard Texas weirdo! YeeeeHAAWWWW!

Russian New Year
Jan. 14th is one of the Russian New Year's Days. New Year's Day is when the Russian's give presents vs Christmas and I thought this would be a fun day to share with Ana's class.
I brought in two of our favorite Russian kids books. One is a general over view of Russia (explained in kid lingo) and the other one is about Father Frost (Russian Santa Clause). We also brought in some of our favorite Russian toys and items for them to play with. The kids loved it! Ana loved it! She was so proud and excited the entire time. I ended our talk with Ana passing out Russian candy. It was a great experience for all of us and I look forward to doing it again next year!

Christmas Kitty
Pooks was so excited about Christmas this year! She had gotten into her stocking and was playing with her toy before Ana was even awake. I took her toy away and put it back into her stocking and told her she had to wait for Ana. She went and found Ana, jumped up on her and purred and kneeded into her chest as if she was saying "Wake Up Wake Up Santa Came!" Ana woke up and we all went downstairs...Pooks followed us. Then she walked right back over to her stocking and took her toy out again and played ALL morning long! Funny Kitty!

Christmas at BFCS
Ana's school is wonderful and we all love it! It was so refreshing to be able to freely talk about the true meaning of Christmas IN SCHOOL! To have a Christmas party instead of a holiday party, to sing songs about Santa AND Jesus! Ana has blossomed and is doing great. She is getting the love, guidance, and self confidence from her entire school and it makes all the difference. We couldn't be happier for her.
The school had a wreath auction where every classroom made a wreath and people bid on it and the money went to the school. This is the wreath we made! We got first place in "school spirit". :)
We are the BFCS Bobcats and we took all the kiddos thumb prints to make little "Bobcat paw print" ornaments. It turned out precious!
This is Ana's class the evening of the school Christmas program. The Pre-K kids sung a couple of songs that just made ya laugh and melt your heart all at the same time!
This is our HAPPY little girl. She LOVED being up in front and just sang her little heart out. She kept waving at everyone she recognized in the audience and I just thought for sure she would bolt and go give hugs...but she didn't. She did exactly what she was suppose to do, complete with a bow at the end! We were so proud!
This is her teacher Ms. Amy. We LOVE Ms. Amy! I tell you it is the love and patience of this lady that is forming our precious little girl into a well rounded and smart student!
