Class Christmas Parties

Thursday was Party Day

First, my friend took Arabella and Lily for the afternoon so that I could attend without little helpers. It was nice since there was some increased security to go through due to recent events. 

Then, I headed to Joey's classroom. They were getting ready to do a book exchange.

Mrs. Bailey read a story with a bunch of lefts and rights in it and the kids passed their books. Joey convinced another boy to trade with him so that he ended up with a Magic Tree House book that he did not already own. He loves those books!

 I helped pass out donuts and donut holes so that the kids could make snowmen out of them.

The kids did a great job!

I was sad I could not stay longer but Jon's class party was going on during the same time frame and I was supposed to help in there too.

 Again we made snowmen out of powdered donuts. The kids did a great job again. They loved eating them!

 We played Christmas Bingo-which I was in charge of.

 And then there was a book exchange and it was gender specific. There are only 5 girls in Jon's class and one was absent so the girl's circle was small! It was more like a musical chairs style game.  Jon was able to convince the boy that got his book to switch with him because he really wanted the Beast Quest Luna Moon Wolf book he had picked out. 

The kids were super excited.   They give Mrs. Sessions an apron with a Christmas tree on it made out of their handprints-so cute!

That night we had a Taekwondo party. I forgot the camera. The kids made ornaments and colored Christmas picture.  We ate food - we took a big pot of red beans and rice.  

They gave out a few awards for the year and Joey was awarded the Loudest Yell award which is so true.  When he answers up it is good and loud!

A fun filled day of parties and the girls enjoyed a trip to Costco with friends!

Friday we had a party with Arabella's Preschool Class.

We made more Christmas character donut creations, played bingo, ate lunch and had a good time playing.

Each child made 2 reindeer.  Arabella made this one and said that it looked more like a bull- she was right.

She wanted a picture and this is how it went.

 Oh wait, that was a  blurry picture and it looks like it is pinching your eye

 Clear but oh dear now you look like a bull with a ring in your nose.  I was laughing quite hard.

Oh, there we go a beautiful girl with a lovely "bull reindeer".  

I hope that all of you enjoyed a party or two this holiday season.
