December 4, 2012....Taiwan Buddy Christmas Gift Exchange

 
 
This is our first year to do a gift exchange with some of our friends that were born in Taiwan.  Leanna sent a gift to an eight year old little girl in Texas.  We had a blast searching for just the right gift and Leanna decided to send her friend a bracelet kit and we also made her some hair bows and sent some candy.  Leanna was thrilled when the gift for her arrived in the mail!  She got a princess matching puzzle and sweet letter from her buddy in California.
Leanna also received a sweet note and gift back from her Taiwan Buddy Molly.

December 1, 2012......Christmas Dance Performance



Leanna's dance class performed at one of the local craft fairs.  It was a really fun performance for the girls and at the end they threw snowballs into the audience.  These girls thought that was so funny! 
Leanna also got to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Claus while we were there.  She told Santa that she would love to have a Fortune Cookie maker.

December 3, 2012....A Christmas Play

 
 
The second graders at Leanna's school produced a Christmas Musical.  Leanna had a speaking part (she had 6 different lines).  Her teachers really bragged on her and encouraged her classmates to speak as loudly and with as much expression as Leanna was using (can we say "drama queen").  It was a beautiful performance.
