The end and the beginning

We are officially done for this semester!!! It all ended tonight with the cutting of our school director's tie at the staff Christmas party. That is our signal that work is over and holidays have begun! Here are some pictures of our day:
The lovely Christmas tree in the chapel.Kaleb sitting on Santa Clause's knee (aka Mr Colburn). Annie didn't want to....enough said.
Our good friend Nancy from Calgary, who is the kindergarten teacher.
Annie with some boys....

and Kaleb with some girls.

Mr. Stutzman, aka the Critter Guy, got a lizard from his secret Santa partner!
Brian, our deputy director and residence life supervisor, cutting Karl's tie - yippee!!!

Some of our 'friends' with legal papers came today for a break from their work. They did a dance from their home country in traditional dress and sang some carols in their native tongue.
We took time to pray over them...

and have our pictures taken with them. They also signed the new book I received about their difficulties. Thanks to so many of you who have given to this cause - its greatly appreciated.
