December Activities

A couple Sundays ago we met Caleb & Robyn (and her sister, Becky) for breakfast in Cambridge. We were connected to Robyn through Brian's teacher Tracy from LMU (but she went to BC as well) - Tracy and Robyn are cousins and Robyn recently moved here with her husband - they're very nice!! When we got off the subway, we were shocked to see the stairs/escalator climb up to the street. This is a picture from the bottom of the first set of stairs/escalators (the second one was shorter).

I am working on a little class project for St. Norbert School for my flower girls' class. They read a story about Flat Stanley, so I colored him and put him in his winter clothes and have been taking him with me places. This is us going down the giant escalator.

A few days later, we went to a Christmas party at one of Brian's teachers' house in Newton. Her students turn in their papers at the party, which is probably a great way to get more people to turn them in on time. It was starting to snow a little on our way home, but it was tough to take a picture of since it was very light (but I tried anyway, pic on the right).

Then we stopped to take a picture at the entrance of BC on our way home. Like I said before, everything is so nicely decorated for Christmas!! :)
Lastly, this is our little "Christmas Tree" that we got for our apartment. It is actually rosemary, but it was cheaper than the mini pine trees, and it's edible! :) We put just 2 little ornaments on it because it can't hold much weight, so these 2 are from Dawn in 2007 and are perfect on our little tree.
