~Sweden ~
We read Annika's Secret Wish again this year. We had bread pudding for desert and Toot had the special almond in his bowl. He got to make a special wish, following Swedish tradition.
~Russia~
We read this beautiful rendition of The Nutcracker. We also listened to other Tchaikovsky music. And we were able to see The Nutcracker ballet at the fabulous Fox Theatre with our friends! We also baked mouse king cookies for fun this morning.
~Japan~
We read Tree of Cranes and did our best to recreate origami. The example above is a zebra.
~Mexico~
We read The Legend of the Poinsettia. The kids did a simple poinsettia craft as well.
~(Ancient) Bethlehem~
We went on our annual Walk through Bethlehem trip as a family.
