Christmas party

We were supposed to have the Christmas party with all the exchange students from the Portland area on December 14th, the First Day of Christmas, and the first day of the great snowfall. We had to reschedule it after Christmas and after the snow...January 4th.

Everyone brought a dish from their country. Pancakes from Netherlands, goat cheese from Norway, Brazilian doughnuts and candy, Danish rice pudding, sausage from Serbia and Bulgaria, Asian wraps from Vietnam....yum!

Even is ready to eat :-)

representing Gladstone High School: Gonzalo, Marius, Sandra and Even!
