More decorations....

Here are some more holiday decorations: Erin organized this amazing craft where we strung fishing line across the balcony, and then hung lines of marshmallows and paper snowflakes from the lines, so that it appears to snowing indoors!

 These are the the strands of 'snow'

This picture was taken from directly below the lines

Winter has Arrived!!!

This weekend we've finally had a chance to decorate the boarding house for the holidays! And the weather has finally complied as well - it actually looks like winter now! We set up the Christmas tree in the living room, and put it lights all over the house. More pictures will be coming soon!

 

Snowflakes adorne almost every window in the boarding house. Each was handcrafted by the boarders.

Aerial Silks!

Every week on Wednesdays, Lisa, Maria, Sam and Ksenia go to an aerial silks class. We have learned many new skills such as a basic climb, a russian climb, a hip key, a rachel split and a georgia twist. We learn all of the skills close to the ground so that if we fall we have a very short fall onto a soft mat. We have a lot of fun every week!
