When the box arrived from Sweden addressed to Evelina just before Christmas, I imagined it being full of goodies from home for Evelina from mom and dad and from Ben and her grandparents.
What I didn't expect, was a special surprise! a gift from Evelina's parents to us. The were beautiful and elegant. We enjoyed every morsel. How nice! We had a special movie night at our house and we invited Jackie's life long friends and soon to be fast friends for Evelina, Deanna(Donkey) and Therea(The Wicked Witch)., two of the leads from the cast of the BHS Muscial Shrek.
We watched the original movie Shrek AND the Broadway musical Shrek (thanks mama Lobo). We ate lots of popcorn and curled up under the blankets, in the glow of the Christmas tree. There was lots of singing along!! Deanna and Theresa, how did you know all the songs before the practices have begun? The BHS Senior Football players and Captains and Dr Henry Turner. Rotarian Marie Tremblay and The BHS Senior Cheerleaders including our Evelina Pajus, our exchange student! Here's an article about our speaker and honored guest, my friend, Jeff Hoyland. http://concord.wickedlocal.com/article/20141203/NEWS/141208938 This Thursday are teacher conferences at Bedford High School.
We have six, yes 6 conferences planned from 4-8 PM. That sounds like a lot. But really, it's only two per daughter. And since we will have 3 daughters starting December 14th, that's the perfect #. We have meetings at 4:10 4:40* 6:50 7:10 7:30 7:50 * we'll pick up the girls from track and bring them home in between and then we'll scoot back to BHS for more conferences. I have a feeling that there won't be a lot of time to make dinner, fingers crossed for sushi from whole foods. lol. |
