Happy Birthday, Riz!

Last Sunday we celebrated Riz's birthday, with her chosen snack of chocolate-dipped goodies. There were pretzels, strawberries, bananas, and Madeleine cookies to munch on. Excellent choice. Happy Birthday!

Happy Lunar New Year!

The Barn celebrated the Lunar New Year with our annual Red Envelope hunt: Think Easter Egg hunt, but with easier-to-hide red envelopes containing quarters for laundry, candy, and other goodies.

The Dorm Parents go to great lengths to make it challenging. Every nook and cranny is a potential hiding spot!

The Barn, Version 2012

It's time for the annual Yearbook photo once again. Fitting this many Barnies in one photo is a little bit like trying to pack for a 2 week vacation in a small backpack. But, we did it. Looking better than ever, Barnies!

It's not all glam and glitz, however. It turns out the Barn has a silly streak too!

Barn Balloon Bonanza!

The Barn's awesome trio of dorm leaders (Briana, Tilly, and KyoungHee) decided to put together a fun activity for the long weekend: A bunch of tricky questions were stuffed inside balloons, and spread around our common room. Our girls then took turns popping a balloon and addressing the question found inside. Hilarity ensued, we are told. We let the girls have some fun on their own!

Happy Birthday, Ayan and Michael, and Half Birthday for Victoria!

Tonight we celebrated Victoria Z.'s half birthday and Ayan and Michael's birthdays. Here's the video!

Holiday Party

We had so much fun at our holiday secret snowflake reveal that, after cleaning up, one of the girls asked if we could do it all over again. It made the dorm seem even cozier and homier before everyone went off to their other homes over break. Here's a recap slideshow from the fun:
