On Wednesday, December 16, Mio’s Pre-K class had their holiday concert! They sang three songs – Hoy es Navidad (the Spanish version of Jingle Bells), I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, and the American Authors song Best Day Of My Life. Their whole performance was adorable!
Afterwards, we got to enjoy refreshments with Mio at her classroom party.
As many of you know, we haven’t gone a year without building and decorating a gingerbread house (see exhibits here, here, here, and here, and we weren’t about to skip it this year. We found something a little different this time, though – a gingerbread turkey kit from Trader Joe’s! We thought it was a fun departure from the usual house, and it also gave us an excuse to exercise our decorating skills a little early, around Thanksgiving time instead of Christmas!
Mio: “I want to watch the movie with the robot!”
Me: “Big Hero Six…?”
Mio: “No, not the big robot one…”
Dan: “Wall-E?”
Mio: “No no no! The one with the princess!”
Dan and I: (perplexed) “A princess…?”
Mio: “The robot and the PRINCESS WITH THE BUNS!!!”
Me: “Ohhh STAR WARS!!!”
First time I got a Star Wars reference before Dan did! (and I still have not seen any of the movies all the way through…)
