Time to Party

Friday was the little kids last day of school before Christmas break.  They were excited! We got up early to load up the sleigh truck with all the goodies we were taking.  The kids were excited to hand out all their gifts.

This year we made reindeer's for the teachers (with a chapstick nose). I kept it simple with something they could use.

The kids both made these reindeer for some of their closest friends.  We made them over the Thanksgiving break and they had been anxiously awaiting to hand them out.

I made little elf shoes for all my friends/co-workers at the school.  Tied them up with a little note that read:  Have yoursELF a merry little Christmas.

Sadi's class was having a gingerbread themed party (actually their class theme for the month) so we made some gingy pops for her class.

Chase's class was having a party as well and we were signed up to bring drinks, so I made some snowmen juice boxes for his class.

As soon as we arrived at school you could feel the excitement building.  Sadi was quick to find her "bestie" who had given her a best friends necklace for Christmas.  They are so cute, they have to get together and connect their necklaces everyday.

I had signed up to help out in Chase's class party since I had spent all of Halloween in Sadi's class.  His party consisted of FOOD.  No games, no crafts....BORING.  I helped delve out food but that was the extent of my help.  The kids seemed to enjoy just eating and talking. 

It worked out that Chase's party was earlier in the day so I was able to party hop to Sadi's class in the afternoon and help out.  Pretty sure this is any second graders dream party....

They were given a heaping plate full of candy decorations and frosting to build their own gingerbread house.  There were no restrictions...they could eat and build to their liking!

Kelsey came with me and helped Sadi out with her house while I helped some of her classmates.  It was a frosting fiasco.  The kids had a great time!  Sadi's gingerbread house turned out really cute.  Believe it or not that entire thing was devoured in one night...can we say belly ache?

It was a fun day at school, and now we are enjoying our break from school and homework...and counting down the days till the big man makes his stop (we hope).
