Kerstin from Germany and Julia from Brazil share the holiday spirit<\/p><\/div>\n

We all gathered on a Friday night for lots and lots of donuts at Krispy Kreme in Rockville, Maryalnd who were great hosts and very interested in the fun the Au Pairs were having.<\/p>\n

Each Au Pair signed in, selected a holiday hat, dropped a pre-wrapped gift into a Santa’s sack,\u00a0 and settled in for laughs and activities.<\/p>\n

The Grab Bag game with Mr and Mrs. Wright (Right\/left game) was a giggle.\u00a0 Some Au Pairs were surprised that the gift they pulled from Santa’s sack would go right and left several times before they received the package she could open.<\/p>\n
