We had a wonderful week celebrating Christmas!
I wanted to share some pictures of our fun party day!
After breakfast we started working on our reindeer food!
The kids enjoyed scooping and mixing their own.
In the middle of making our reindeer food, we
had a special guest arrive! The kids were SOOO
excited!
The first thing they had to show him was "his" elf,
Jolly, hanging from the lantern! Santa recognized him!
We had to start right into letting Santa know what
we wanted to see under the tree!
(Parents, you are welcome to right click and save
whatever pictures you'd like!)
This is me and my WHOLE group!
I am so happy to have this picture! It took
a few shots to get everyone looking at the camera.
We always sing a song to Santa before he leaves.
This year the kids wanted to sing TWO songs.
They picked Santa Claus is Coming to Town
and Jingle Bells.
Then it was time for Santa to go visit other kids.
We hated to see him go!
We REALLY didn't want him to go! Haha!
Did you know Santa drives a red truck?!
Then it was time to open presents!
All the kids were so sweet and LOVED their presents!
That afternoon, we had a birthday party for Jesus!
I have always taught my kiddos the real meaning of Christmas.
Yes, we do Santa and Elf on the Shelf, and all the fun stuff, but I try
very hard to put most of the emphasis on the birth of our Savior.
Each child had their very own cupcake with a birthday candle!
We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and blew out our own candles!
The kids thought this was AWESOME!
After our birthday party for Jesus, I had a special surprise
at the door! One of my Giggles & Grins Alumni, Alex,
came to see me! He was as tall as me!! I love it when past
students come to see me!
Merry Christmas to you all!
Please remember:
