Clothes shopping

Here I am doing a bit of clothes shopping.  Most everything in these piles of used American clothing costs from one quetzal ($0.13) to 10 quetzales ($1.30).  Some special items, like jeans or winter coats, cost up to 25 quetzales ($3.25).  I have to spend quite a while digging through various piles, but I enjoy finding good buys for my growing girls.  It's our "Chichi market" version of Goodwill.

Choreography

We presented our Christmas dance at our church on December 30.
Practicing in the Sunday School room
before the presentation.
Cousins:  Sergio, Erick (who just finished a
blue lollipop),
Brandon, and Fernando
The "shepherds" dancing with the "angels."
After watching the Christmas dance, the Sunday School director at our church, Mario, asked me to choreograph several new dances for each of the 4 class levels.  He gave me about 30 songs... well, I guess I'm going to be busy for a while!  I'm praying for creativity!
