Joyous Signing at the Elementary Christmas Concert

This year our theme for the Elementary Christmas Concert was Candy Canes.  Throughout the night we clearly laid out the story of Jesus' birth and how through this baby we have the opportunity for salvation.  It was a wonderful concert with great singing and speaking from all the different students.

IBCV Children's Christmas Concert

Here's a portion of the children's Christmas concert from my church.  A combination of cuteness and funniness!

Happy Holidays Gift Exchange!

For the past few years my friends, Amanda and Carrie, have hosted a Secret Santa Gift Exchange.  It allows a special time for the ladies of ICSV to get together and encourage one another through gift giving.  I particularly enjoyed this year since I had been able to get to know my "secret Santa" a lot better this year than last year.  It was fun trying to shop for her and find just the right thing!  Unfortunately she wasn't able to come to the party, so she didn't receive her gift until a few days later.

Look at all the presents!

Great Time on a Field Trip to the Christmas Markets

Continuing in the Christmas tradition at ICSV all students went on a field trip to the Rathaus in order to create some beautiful Christmas crafts and shop at one of the biggest Christmas markets in the city.  This year 4th and 5th grade went together again and we had a blast!  Check out some of the pictures of our time below.
