-18 degrees F!!!!!!!!!!






Hello everyone! Well, we made it through the lonely holidays! I hope you all enjoyed your time together, we appreciated our thoughtful gift boxes. Thank you!!!!! Our latest news is Nell, the new dog family addition, pulled through his worms and is once again a happy pup! Dave and I will have a night alone on Tuesday when we fly to Bethel to have Nell fixed and get his shots in order. Cole will have a sleepover at our friends Nick and Dana. YEA! :) Dave and I will get to shop in a real grocery store and can eat out to have fresh salad and ice cream- things we never have in the village. This post is a bunch of Christmas pictures- our Christmas morning and lovely gifts, our Tunt tree, Cole with his roller track that he and Dad made, and Angie in the qasspeq that she made. Qasspeq's have a big front pocket and hoods. Historically, however the hood was decorated to let other people know which Eskimo tribe the person wearing it belonged to. Their is also a picture of Cole on Santa's lap at the school, a photo of a Yup'ik woman selling the handmade goods she made at the Christmas bazaar, and two pictures of me/my students performing at the Holiday concert. They did a skit called the 9 days of recycled Christmas and made all of the ornaments to sing like the 12 days of Christmas- it was really funny and I was proud of them. Happy 2008! ~Angie
