Here is "E" enjoying her first time on the ice. She loved it and had a great time.
All of the dorm students and a few of the home students went ice skating...you might say we took over the rink. The disco ball with lights was a new element to ice skating.
Look at these cute RAs loving their time on the ice. This is Erin, CB, and Julie. (Yes that is Julie Thompson from Bluffton, Ohio!)
Julie and Amanda show off their ice skating skills. The are runners up for the Olympics! After an evening on the ice, we tucked the kids into bed for an early morning adventure in Frieburg, Germany. All of the dorm students jumped on the train in Schillingin for a day of shopping the Christmas markets. Frieburg is a bigger city and has STARBUCKS..which all BFA people love. After getting shopped out, I went to get some coffee and hang out.
While I was at Starbucks, I became sort of the BFA home base. Many students and staff filtered through and I had my little spot where they could join me. Here "S" and "D" are enjoying their Cokes and chatting it up with me. We discussed what we were giving people, BFA, how they will be as seniors next year in Palmgarten and life in general.
When I was not talking to people I was enjoying my comfy chair, a toffee nut latte, and a good book. What could be better than that? After the shopping we went home and encouraged the students to study. The Palm girls were also invited to Les and Elva's house for Christmas goodies. Les and Elva were the dorm parents last year. They had a great night of games. While the girls were enjoying the party the dorm staff was cooking for the Sunday night Christmas Party!
On Sunday we had church like normal and then there was the BFA Christmas Concert. Here "S" is playing her cello. She does an amazing job and right now is the only cello player at BFA.
"D" also showed off her skills with her violin. They preformed wonderfully.
Here the choir is singing. The two girls with the Santa hats are Palm girls. Aren't they festive.
We all scurried home for our Palmgarten Christmas Party. It was filled with yummy food, good fellowship, and a awesome gift exchange.
These Christmas girls wait in eager anticipation for the food and the presents.
We also had a mom visiting from Spain. Here is Mrs. W with her daughter. The parents love seeing their kids and we loving have their parents here visiting.
Waiting, waiting, waiting. What could be under that tree. After some wonderful fellowship we enjoyed a time of being thankful for those in the Palm dorm family. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend. Now EXAM WEEK comes.
