in gifted education. Transfer students who were screened in Fall <strong>2017</strong><br />

Mom: Romni, Director of Logistics (Chateau Domingue)<br />
Dad: Blake, Grind Division Manager (Oerlikon)<br />
Son: Kaidryn, 9 YO: Black Belt TKD (Tiger Rock Martial<br />
Arts of Katy), World Medalist/Titlist; Also enjoys<br />

Christmaaaaas<br />
Favorite Family Traditions: Annual Christmas Caroling Party<br />
through the neighborhoods (what a fun way to dive back<br />
into days of yore!), Dickens on the Strand in Galveston,<br />
cooking for family and friends every year (especially<br />
making decorated chocolate dipped marshmallows and<br />
other chocolate goodies), baking cookies for Santa, and<br />
toy donations for children. Oh, and lest we forget their<br />
beloved visit with Santa at Bass Pro Shop! He always makes<br />
sure to stock up on reindeer food while he’s there!<br />
Funniest Christmas Memory: “One year we were headed to Dickens on the strand and we found out a<br />
cold front was coming into town. I spent the entire evening in our hotel sewing furry capes so the family<br />
would not freeze. It was 27 degrees that year. Because of all the fur, our hotel room looked like a wild<br />
animal was turned loose in there and shed its winter coat.”<br />
Shopping Logistics: This smart mama pays extra on the family bills all year so that at Christmas time, she’s<br />
sitting on a nice credit to use towards presents, festivities and feasts. School book drives and other similar<br />
events are opportune times for Romni to stash away a collection of unique gifts to tuck under their tree.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Reason for the Season: Christmas time is so special for this family since it brings their families and<br />
friends together, especially by enjoying a number of dinner parties throughout the season.<br />
Auld Lang Syne: “On New Year’s Eve, we usually throw a big party - everyone and the kids are welcome.<br />
We eat and pop fireworks!”<br />
Locale<br />
Morton Ranch - On why they like living there: “We<br />
love the small town feel of Katy but just close enough<br />
to the culture of the big city with all the Museums<br />
30 min away and a beach only 1 hour away. My<br />
husband and I both grew up in Houston/Katy and<br />
the surrounding areas. I am an MCHS Alumni class of<br />
‘92 and my husband is Cy-Fair HS class of ’95. We<br />
love our community and people in it.”<br />

Bethlehem is an outdoor, walk-through drama portraying the birth of Christ.<br />

Joseph took centuries ago. Your travels will lead you through the village of<br />
Nazareth, into the camp of the Magi, past the Roman census and open-air<br />
markets of Judea, ultimately ending at the simple manger where Christmas<br />
began and hope was born. For the last fifteen years, Current - A Christian<br />
Church has been presenting this event to the Katy community. Each year<br />
the event grows. With live animals and more than 200 actors in costume,<br />
Journey to Bethlehem, is an annual tradition for many and serves to remind<br />
everyone who participates of the true meaning and impact of Christmas.<br />
