Le Flat Stanley d'Aude à Montclair, NJ

C'est plus tellement la saison, mais voici des nouvelles du Flat Stanley d'Aude, qui a passé les fêtes de fin d'année à Montclair, New Jersey, parmi les scouts "Brownie", encadrées par Michelle Ruggiero.

Voici, en VO, le récit de leur visite à une maison de retraite, où elles ont l'habitude d'aller en décembre pour chanter des chansons de Noël. Ensuite, elles dégustent un chocolat chaud et des cookies de Noël chez une des scouts "Brownie".


"This was our 2nd year visiting a local nursing home where we sing Christmas Carols. The men and women that live there look forward to our visit and enjoy our singing and piano playing. This year we sang some of our favorites, Frosty the Snowman and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. After we visit the nursing home we go back to Amelia's house for hot chocolate and cookies, it's a fun afternoon. You'll see pictures in front of Amelia's Christmas tree where we all posed with Flat Stanley. The Brownies were wondering what Christmas Carols you sing in France?

Here we are at the nursing home singing. If you look really close you can see Kaitlin (she's wearing the Santa hat) holding up Aude's Flat Stanley as we sang.

I'm in the background next to the column (the lady with dark hair).

Here's Flat Stanley in front of the Christmas tree with all of the Brownies. Kaitlin is holding him. Some of the girls are wearing their Brownie uniform vests ...

Here is what the full Brownie uniform looks like :

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2011 !
