Before the break we had a wonderful celebration as a culmination to our studies of Italy and Mexico. We called it the Festa Fiesta (Festa = party in Italian and Fiesta = party in Spanish). The kids and adults enjoyed sampling some foods from each country. Special thanks goes out to JoAnn Mogielnicki for helping the day of the party and bringing tortellini and sauce. I'd also like to thank the following other families for contributing supplies to the celebration: the Crookes Family, the Wickart/Clarks, the Knudsons, the Martins, the Scheers, and the Kolibas Family. What a fun way to end our studies of these two contrasting cultures!
