French Santa Claus

Isabelle came back from France with gifts from the French "pere Noel". The kids had fun opening the boxes and playing with the Meccano.

French Santa Claus was kind of late. He probably got stuck at the airport.

Benoit reads books now. French books are going to be even more fun.


Lucas is just checking... We never know, maybe Benoit is going to get some candy.

Lego, Meccano and you cannot go wrong.

Happy family

Finally my new fish eye lens has arrived! The kids got completely exited once they saw the distorted images. We all had a good time.

Halloween at Family Student Housing

Every year, we celebrate Halloween at FSH. Kids like to play all different games that are made available by the families.

After, all the kids and parents walk to the college Eight where they collect candies by visiting all the apartments.
