My Homecoming Dance

Hi everyone! Here are a few pictures of me from my Homecoming dance. To give you a little background on Homecoming at my school. Homecoming takes place at the end of January/beginning of February. We have events at school during the week. These build up to a Pep Rally on Friday during school, a Dinner Dance Friday night, and the basket ball game on Saturday night. Every day of the week we have assigned attire and activities during the day to complement our theme. This year's theme was 1940's. However, I must be honest I didn't get too involved in dressing up, resulting in no pictures being taken! Homecoming Week and a Dance is common here in the U.S. although it is quite different in a Christian School because we are accompanied by teachers and chaperone's during the Dinner Dance. Well, I hope you enjoyed this post and get a little taste of a tradition in schools in the U.S.


Dad and I are trying to tickle each other. Who is winning?


















Here we are after the dance.

Happy Easter!!

Greetings everyone!! It has been over a year since I have posted....and am feeling just brave enough to give it another try.

Here is a photo of our Easter dinner. I made a roast leg of lamb, roasted potatoes, cauliflower and asparagus.

Don't forget the gravy and mint jelly!! We ran out of mint jelly before dinner was over. Andre was a sad fellow...he put his slice of lamb into the jar to get out the last bit of jelly.





Here is a photo of our dessert. I made a trifle with pears and peaches.






No food post would be complete without an 'action' photo. Kirsten insisted upon my taking this photo.





Oh....I am feeling a bit more confident now. I was able to include photos!! I am feeling quite happy about this.

Ok -- Daddy and Mummy....since I was able to accomplish this elaborate post....you may want to check the blog more frequently. In fact, I will be posting again tomorrow. We have some breaking news to share with you all.
