December is Here!

Well, Thanksgiving and Bob's 24th birthday have come and gone. Hard to believe! We celebrated both occasions. For Thanksgiving we had a dinner with the other English teachers at school. We got rotisserie chicken from CostCo, dinner rolls, corn, potatoes and even pumpkin and apple pie. For Bob's birthday the two of us celebrated with a movie and a few drinks at our favorite bar/lounge.

Next up is Christmas and our sisters' visit : )

We've been busy the last few weeks with work and getting ready for the holidays. We have a few Christmas decorations around the apartment - a new Santa Claus door hanger and a Santa countdown calendar. Bob also surprised me with two strands of Christmas lights! We put one up in our apartment and the other around our desks at school.

Last week was a lot of fun at school. Thursday was "Doctor Day" for the kinders. Instead of classes, the teachers were stationed at different booths made to look like doctors offices. I was the dentist for the day. There was also an eye doctor, pediatrician and surgeon. The kids visited each doctor and got a fake prescription from each of us. Then they took it to the pharmacy station and got their pills and cough syrup (M&Ms and orange juice). Bob was the pharmacist.

Then on Friday the kids took pictures for kinder graduation, which is coming up at the end of February. They had tiny caps and gowns and a library backdrop with a globe for the kids to pose with. They took group pictures with all of the teachers too, so Bob and I got to don graduation garb as well.

Tonight Bob just started taking Korean lessons from one of the teachers at our school. I'm still working on learning the alphabet : ) Two weeks from tonight we'll be at the airport picking up Shannon and Kate! We can't wait!!!
