Cheri's Christmas came Friday in the form of a "Pampered Chef" party and the Christmas part is that she is going to order to her hearts content! She is so excited about that! She did a great job, and all of the women that showed up had a great time! The total is over $500 generated, so Cheri gets a lot of big discounts and freebies! She almost seems content!
Well, it was back to school, and lunch monitor and Girl Scouts and all the rest of the stuff that has to be done on such a small base! The week was uneventful on a whole... just getting back into the swing of things. We now have an entire hallway full of Girl Scout Cookies! That is a great sight to come home from work to! Up to the celing, all the way down the hall! Just wish they all got to stay!
Would you believe that it hardly ever rains here, and right now it is pouring down rain! That is a good thing... will keep things green through Feb maybe!
The girls had a good week and were glad after-all to get back to school! The one funny thing that did happen is that most of the kids were all absent on Thursday... see, Spain celebrates Christmas on the 25th of December as a religious holiday only... then on the 5th of January they have "Magic 3 Kings Day" which is their "Santa Clause" time. They have a parade on the 5th, and the 6th is like our "Christmas" with the presents. Well... all the kids were gone from school because we were all at the parade in Utrera! It is like a not too miniature Mardi-Gras and they throw candy and small toys and shirts and soccer balls and stuff! We had a blast! The girls were amazed that we stayed through the entire thing... secretely, Cheri and I were having fun and forgot they had school the next day! Oh well, they survived and had a great time!
