Ethan's Christmas Party
The last week of school was a busy one! Ethan's party was Monday, Caden's school program was Tuesday, and his Christmas party was Wednesday. Since I am Room Mom for Ethan's class, Sunday was a long night of prepwork since we had been so busy that I hadn't been able to prepare in advance. Thankfully, Mimi was in town to help :-) We made a snowball toss game, pin the body on the snowman, made sugar cookies for the kids to decorate as snowmen...see the theme ;-). Then we bought snowmen tic-tac-toe boards for the kiddos to play with while eating and in between centers. They also made snowman clothespins, ate snowman doughnuts and snowman bananas, had snowman popcorn cups, and drank snowman milk. The kiddos did great and made it through each center on their own without any direction from us! I was well prepared to group them and rotate each group through the centers but I didn't even need to do so. What a great group of kiddos!
Snack time was first...
With a little tic-tac-toe,
Followed by some Snowball toss,
And sugar cookie decorating.
A little brotherly love :-)
Then made some snowman clothespins
and played Pin the Body on the Snowman
Great fun was had by all!
Shadowbrook Christmas Program
Shadowbrook has a young, new pastor that wanted to create a video Christmas card this year that included the Shadowbrook students. What a fun idea! Caden is 2nd row center right next to Santa Pastor. But he spends the whole video doing a disappearing act. He's hilarious! Now you see him...
Now you don't...just 2 little hands. His teacher said she couldn't watch the video without laughing the entire time watching him repeatedly disappear and then pop back up a few seconds later :-)
The next evening Caden had his very last Shadowbrook Christmas program. For 5 years, he has stood still onstage without participating. This was the last one and we were hoping he would change his mind for this one.
And he did! Hand motions! It's a miracle!
Maracas
Bells
And each year the Kindergarten class closes the program with the Nativity. Caden was the Wiseman who brought the myrrh.
Love that sweet boy!
The whole nativity by Kindergarten
Cheese faces at the end :-)
Caden's Christmas Party
The next day was Caden's school Christmas party. Since Caden went to Ethan's party, he asked if Ethan could go with him to his party so Ethan checked out early and went with me.
I wasn't able to get many pictures of the party because I was asked to lead a candy cane building station:-( but the kiddos had fun!
Yay! Christmas Break can finally begin!
