Wednesday night – Cookies, soldering and Gabe arrives.

Today was my last work day for the year.. I had a bunch of meetings. Mostly fun stuff. 

As I was in those meetings, I was working on some presents I’m making for the kids. At one point I inadvertently put a lipo battery down by my soldering iron.. found it just in time !. 

While I wa sworking, diane was busy cookifying. She did sooo much work.. we had at least 9 types of cookies, brown butter shortbread, ginger snaps, hocolate/peppermint drops, peanut butter and chocolate kiss, peanut butter and reese’s cup, anise biscotti, chocolate biscotti.. kipferl and pizzelles . They will definitely get us through the holidays !

Sunday night — Christmas Pageant

Becky arranged a real treat for us today .. She’d bought us all tickets to see the “Musical Pinata” Christmas pageant  at the Teatro Paraguas. Becky and Max’s freind Jen he;ps run the theatre. the show was truly wonderful. It was a mix of kids, actorsacrtesses and musicioans. With music, poetry,. plays and dance. It was completely bilingual.. about 50/50 english spanish which was fun for me to test my rusty spanish. It was so fun and sweet !


 

I found out that you can watch the whole thing onlone.. its about an hour..

We left smiling and singing !
