Meeting Santa

On Thursday, December 16th, 2010 our children had the opportunity to meet Santa! For some of them it was a long-waited moment, for others it was a the very first time with Santa!

Enjoy the pictures and Happy Holidays!

Holiday Party!

On Friday, December 16th we had our Holiday party. Over 45 people attended, and we also had the pleasure of receiving a visit from our friends of Elevation. During the party we made Holiday cards and decorate a Santa image. In addition to our friends of Elevation, we received another visit. It was a moment all children were waiting for, we were in fact waiting for Santa! Check out the pictures!
