Merry Christmas!

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:

Halloween Fun Day!

Happy Halloween!

We had a wonderful week of fun!

Yesterday was filled with 

cuteness and laughter! 

Check out these sweeties:

After our "photo shoot"

we played some fun games.

We picked partners and made 

each other into mummies!

We.had.a.mess.

But they laughed and laughed!

Mr Jaxon was my partner.

We both quickly decided we would rather

watch the mayhem than to participate!

haha!

Too much craziness for us!

Then we did another little game that I 

do every year. 

I told a little spooky story about a man 

named Sam. We had food props to resemble 

the feeling of body parts.

Before I even began the story I said

at least 5 times that the story

IS NOT REAL..

THE STUFF IN THE BOWLS
ARE FOOD!

Oh my gosh.

It was HILARIOUS!

This group seriously had me cracking 

up at how funny they reacted!

Let me just say that the girls

may have been the bravest!

The pickles were his toes,

carrots were his fingers,

spaghetti noodles were his intestines,

and the olives were eyeballs.

No worries.

After the story ended we looked in 

the bowls and saw the food. 

Some even ate his "eyeballs".

So funny. Love those kiddos.

Adlyn Mae brought everyone a neat bucket 

for the occasion! Our parents did not disappoint

on the candy giving!

This whole week was full of fun books and crafts! 

I took some random photos for you:

I hope you all have a wonderful time

enjoying your kiddos at this time.

Before you know it they will be grown and gone!

I will leave you with one of my favorite Halloween

pictures of my girls: 

So be truly glad,

there is wonderful joy ahead.
