Last Wednesday, it was fun (but busy!!) to have two Christmas events on one day. First, I attended a Christmas luncheon & bazaar hosted by the American Womens Club at the American Ambassador's house. My favorite part was just going to the house & it was fun to attend with friends.
This is a view from our table in a tent outside looking back into the house.
I mean, how exciting to see the seal of the USA in our basket of chips!!
Just me, hanging out at the Ambasador's home in Bogota, Colombia.
I spotted an American flag !! (which we normally don't see around here)
This is a cute little chapel that is right outside the residence.
The second event we attended was a Steve Green concert. This was a fundraiser through the girls school, and Brook's class sang on stage with him for a few songs. He is so talented & is great with kids. Other than the kids parts, the show was in Spanish.

Thursday night, we had a Christmas party with our tutoring group. We only had 2 kids because Colombian schools are already on holiday here, however there were lots of adults.
I took a picture of the food tables so you can see one obvious culutral difference when serving food in Colombia. Colombians always pre-serve and will serve food to you.
Americans, we just like it buffet style.
The lighting is bad here, but we sang Silent Night in Spanish & in English.
This cute little girl has been so sweet & fun to work with, & always helps us with our Spanish while we help her with her English. She was soo excited I had brought her gummy snacks from Disney (& in the shape of Mickey too!).
