After the Advent we went to Einstein Bagel. It was well crowded, lots of people are having breakfast. This is done all throughout the USA but not really done in Holland, at least not us. I do however enjoy it. Work some, chat a little and have a cup of tea along with a bagel, excellent!

Right after school we went to a storage war, only one box that was available for auction. Someone bought a lot of junk for $200.00, I did not see anything of any use…..

When we got home again we found another X-mas card, thanks!

Day 133 – December 3

Today Camy had a performance with all 6th, 7th and 8th graders in chapel. They had to sing all kinds of songs because of advent. Advent is the season that lasts for four Sundays leading up to Christmas. At that time, the new Christian year begins with the twelve-day celebration of Christmastide, which lasts from Christmas Eve until Epiphany on January 6. (Advent begins on the Sunday that falls between November 27th and December 3rd each year).

The church was already decorated for Christmas and there were three trees.

All decoration was made of foam and beads.

The performance was outstanding, she did very well and all was learned by heart. After chapel was over and all students returned to their class we drove towards the Altamonte Mall and had lunch at Tijuana Flats which was new to us. Tijuana is a Mexican Food restaurant which is better than Taco Bell and that we already love.

And when we were all done they asked us wether or not we wanted to take the chips with us. Well that happened to be a refill since we got a new back of potato chips to take home. Just superb service!

At 4.00PM we picked Camy up from school and had some fun in Winterpark, we did not go home since Camy had to be back at school for another performance. So we got back to school at 5.00PM for dinner and at 6.30PM the next show started. So she had two performances today. Tonight she had to perform for parents and grandparents and other relatives that were unable to attend earlier today.

day133-14

Dinner was set up at the gym for all parents and pretty convenient for us since it takes us an hour to get home and then another hour to get back to school again. And guess what, we had sauerkraut for dinner, that’s been a long time…delicious!

day133-15

The advent was done by 8.00PM and we headed home right away. My mother happen to see the show live because it was streamed live. We informed her ahead of time so she was able to sign in from the other side of the world and see Camy perform. She loved it, that is todays technology!
