December at Palmgarten!

This month was filled with all kinds of activities from shopping in Freiburg, Christmas banquet, exams, Christmas parties and then finally…break!!!



This is the main street in Kandern decorated for Christmas!


We’ve had a good bit of snow so far this winter. Although it doesn’t stay for more than a few days, it’s really pretty! This is a view of our dorm from down our street.


Here we are getting ready for the annual Christmas Banquet, held at the school. We had a “salon” for the girls so that they could get their hair, makeup and nails done. My job was to paint nails.


Me and Jessica all set to go!


All the Palmgarten girls


We had a dorm Christmas party and as part of the festivities, the girls made gingerbread houses. Anna, Jessica, Lizzy and Shanna made a beach house instead.


Kjirsti and Esther hard at work.


Katelyn won our gift game—she was the first one able to open the present while wearing mittens.


What’s a party without food?!?!?


Merry Christmas!

The girls get back from break in one week and I can’t wait to see them all again!
