Waiting for Christmas

Today Kali has been helping out students to make their art work. The project was to make Piñatas, but keep in mind some of the stories from Kalevala, Finnish Natiola Epic where a magical object called Sampo gives all the treasures that one can imagine to its owner. Thank you Sequoia students for the american candies you sent us this fall. The piñatas are filled with them now! If you want to see some of the quite exciting stories from Kalevala you can take a look to this site that has nice animations: http://www.europeoftales.net/

Hello! I'm back from a trip to I just took to the Half Moon Bay Christmas Tree Farm where I had a great tim frolicking in the trees and playing around in their many toys. It was so much fun! It starting to feel a lot like Christmas! MMMM! The car smelled like pine all the way home. Im really getting into the holiday spirit!



















Thanksgiving!




WOW! I'm stuffed! even though its been a week since Thanksgiving I'm still full from all the wonderful food. I loved this holiday. It reminded me all about why I should be thankful for what I have. I hope our holidays are wonderful too!
