Christmas Eve in Argentina

It's Thursday which means in our Homeschool we are getting ready for "la Navidad" (Christmas).  

I know it's not technically December 24th and 25th, however, we are coming to an end of our week long learning about Christmas in Argentina, SO that means we need to Celebrate Christmas.

 We prepared, as many Christian Families do, who live in the Northern area in Argentina (where it's Summer weather) by decorating a tree with cotton balls. (aka snow) Also making red and green decorations (wreaths).  

We then baked our "pan dulce" sweet bread . (aka cupcakes for us)   You won't be hearing any "Polvora" (fireworks) but the children will receive a little present in the morning from "Papa Noels".  

 The girls set up the "pesebre" (Nativity).     













In addition to preparing for tomorrow's celebration - we were able to sneak in some Scholastic....


A word game (which Zachary LOVES)



And some Christmas activities! 



Excited to have a little celebration tomorrow...in addition to a playdate at a friends house....our town's tree lighting...and a fun night at Church were we will be caroling over at the Nursing Home... 8)   

Until tomorrow.... Be Blessed!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
