an affair to remember

this weekend we decided to make our apartment look a little more homey according to the season. Remember this post about the weather here? weeeellll, just because i think its cold at 65 degrees doesnt mean at all that it feels like its going to be CHRISTMAS IN 3 WEEKS! theres no such thing as winter here. im pretty sure the cold that im experiencing is typical fall weather.

in our little town of NanLang we dont have access to much.

ok, we dont have access to hardly anything.

so our christmas decorations were extremely limited, to only the school supplies which we brought hahahha.

but id say we did a pretty good job making a paper apartment

friday night we had over a bunch of our teacher friends from the kindergarten. i seriously love all these girls. they are so sweet, and try so hard to talk to us. they get so excited about every little thing and have so much fun with everything. we played such simple, childish games with them but they loved it so much! we were laughing so hard with them, and had such a good time!

they thought these snowflakes that were hanging up all around our apartment were the coolest things in the world, so we taught them how to make one.

fascination

playing "pin the nose on the santa"

playing "telephone"

"musical chairs"

and heres me and my roomies gathered around our christmas tree :)

we love Alice's cooking

ok. who doesnt think Freda is just adorable? we call her our baby all the time and she doesnt like it hahahah she says " no! i no baybeee" but really.. she is :)

our kung-fu instructor came over also. i think he was loving being the only guy there with 15 girls. i think were supposed to be doing a kung fu move in the picture, but i decided to sleep instead. typical.

i ruv dem all :)

and i am just so in love with arts and crafts with the kids. im really sad that last week was my last time doing it with them. of course i had to do all christmas themed stuff with them.
