Magical Forest

Every year in Las Vegas, Opportunity village organizes a Magical Forest around Christmas. It is such a wonderful event for the entire family, it is really pretty and lots of fun. It is also for a great cause! Opportunity Village is a non-profit organization that serves people with intellectual disabilities by providing them with vocational training, employment and social recreation services that make their lives more productive and interesting.
My mom, Sam and I went and Jeff and Anaïs stayed home because it was WAY too cold for Anaïs to be outside at night! We went on a train ride, walked through the magical forest, went to the carousel and on some huge slides...although my mom chickened out for the slides! LOL









I also baked a cake for Sam's class at school. We were supposed to be a little presentation about France, but her school was closed that day so we just brought the cake on Friday so the kids could eat it for snack time.

I also wanted to show off Sam's Christmas art work she did at school, it is very cute!
