Wow! December has been such a busy month! We can't believe its already Christmas and winter break! Here's a quick recap of all the things we've done this month!
We started the month with the illusionist Darcy Oake at the MTS Centre! Darcy put on an amazing show and we were left wondering how he did such amazing things!
Next up on the December agenda was a visit to the Manitoba Legislature for their annual Christmas open house. There were choirs from elementary and middle schools from all around Winnipeg that preformed and we were able to see the House of Commons and the rest of the building all decorated for the holidays.
Since its the season for giving here in Manitoba we also took a day to help out at the local Koats for Kids office. Koats for Kids collects winter clothing for children of all ages and distributes it to families who cannot afford proper winter clothing for their children.
Next on the agenda was lunch at a Winnipeg favorite, The Old Spaghetti Factory.
After our bellies were full we walked over to the outdoor ice skating rink at the Forks and had a great time skating! For some students this was a first, others seemed like old pros.
And then, last night we participated in a real Winnipeg Christmas tradition and went to see the Royal Winnipeg Ballet perform The Nutcracker! It was such a fantastic show, and it even snowed outside to give it a real holiday feel.
Phew! That was a busy month! Now time for some holidays!
