All of her classmates showed up in disguise and then had to solve the mystery of the missing star (from our treetop). 10 is a big deal on the ship. It means you can serve yourself in the dining room and it means you can be unsupervised on the ship!
That same week we left Sierra Leone after 9.5 months there and set sail for Tema, Ghana. One of the signs of imminent departure is looking out the window and seeing a Land Rover hovering in mid-air as it's being loaded up onto deck 8!
During the sail the girls' dance class performed "Winter Wonderland" at the ship's Winter Wonderland which is like a small craft market set up in mid-ships.
The girls performed in the Academy's annual Christmas musical and then before we knew it it was Christmas morning. One of the traditions on the ship is that you place one of your shoes outside your cabin door on Christmas Eve and then on Christmas morning it is filled with all sorts of goodies. The girls and I enjoyed putting goodies in other people's shoes on Christmas Eve and we all enjoyed finding goodies in our shoes on Christmas morning!
After we got dressed Ray (aka Daddy) read the Christmas story from the Bible.
Presents beneath the tree...
This past week the girls and I had a chance to visit the Cedi Bead Factory. It was a lot of fun watching the beads being made and then we had a chance to design our own beads!
Here are some of the finished products in the gift store made by Mr. Cedi and his staff.
Merry Christmas 2011 and Happy New Year 2012 from the Szareks!!!
