About a week ago, Kenady and I went into a funk. I was stuck between getting ready to come home and trying to be 100% at Rising Star. We did not like this situation at all, so to bump ourselves out of the funk, we decided to bring Christmas spirit to Rising Star. We made glittered snowflakes out of popsicle sticks and gave them to all the teachers and staff. We told them they were "Christmas Stars, because you are a star!" This, then, rebounded into Christmas spirit everywhere. We were all dying our hair with henna one night in Venilla's room, when her boys decided they wanted to have a Secret Santa!
Stoked on this idea, we immediately drew names and made some rules. It would be the next night and it had to be handmade. Handmade gifts are the best kind of gifts anyway! It worked out perfectly, too, because all of us got one of the boys, and all of the boys got one of us. The volunteers strategically told each other whose name we got and cooked up some plans for what to make them. We knew that the boys were probably doing the same thing.
The next night, we all put the gifts on Venilla's bed and then found our own gift. They had each written us an incredibly cute card with great pictures. We gave them each bracelets and that idea then went through the whole house and now all her boys want them. This is me and Anbarasu, he drew my name. Don't you love his smile?
