Philippine Culture Appreciation Day

AmeriKids, the toddler school that Addie attends had a Philippine culture celebration on Friday where the kids showed off some of their artwork, traditional Philippine songs and dances they've learned, as well as some traditional games. Then we got to eat yummy Filipino food. Addie wasn't too pleased about all the adults watching so she just stood there for the songs and dances. She participated in the game "pabaiet" (hanging candy), I'm sure because she got a bag of candy out of the deal. One of the Moms made awesome cookies decorated as the Philippine flag. Only she used local food coloring and, well...you can see the result of that. When we left her shirt wasn't white any longer. It was really fun to see all the kids. Justin and I were so proud of Addie, it also reminded us just how young she still is and how glad we are about that.
