This week was International Week at the elementary school. There were various activities each day during the week. Each morning kids from different countries taught the kids how to say "Hello" in their native language over the loudspeaker during the morning announcements. We have students from 29 different countries at our school.
Today the kids could wear traditional clothing from countries around the world. We called Grandma Kovacs since Ashlee really wanted to wear Korean clothes (last year she wore some things from Paraguay from Rob's mission). A HUGE thank you to Grandma and Mary Anne for sending them so quickly so that they got here in time (and even included some yummy treats in the package). We love you, Grandma!
Here are the girls with their friend, Audrey, before school...
For those of you who didn't know, I lived in Korea when I was about 4-5 years old. My dad was stationed there in the Army. Ashlee is wearing the dress that was my sister's (Allyson) and Brynlee is wearing mine (kinda small for her since she is 7). Audrey is wearing an outfit from China that her grandma got for her.

That looks like fun!
Glad they got there in time! That was so sweet of Ashlee to call and say thank you. They look great!
I have been meaning to comment on your blog for forever now! I about died laughing on your post about spring cleaning and the squirrel. Seriously straight out of a movie and the squirrel in custody topped it off. Your family is adorable btw!
How fun they got to wear those dresses! Makes me reminisce...
