Children's Day 2014

On April 23rd Turkey celebrated Children's Day. We spent the afternoon at school watching the kids perform traditional dances they had been practicing since the beginning of the school year. It was fun a lot of fun and I'm so proud of my kiddos for how brave they were to jump full force into the Turkish language and culture.

Here is my post from last year and here is Children's Day 2012. My how they've grown!

Vienna with her cousin Katie

My 3 cuties all dressed up and ready to dance!

He's such a daddy's boy!

Yohanis with his cousin Andy

Colson with his cousin Ermiyas

Yohanis got to recite a poem in front of the whole school!

Vienna dancing with her class - it was hot and the poor girl was SO sweaty by the time she was done!

Colson dancing with his first grade class (Ermiyas, Katie and Colson are all in the same class - how fun!)

Yohanis with his second grade class!

Yohanis signed up to do all the extra dances - this boy loves to dance!

Cute little spectators!

And one tired little two year old boy!

And if those pictures didn't contain enough cuteness for you - here are some short video clips of each of their dances!
