Christmas Party Time!


We spent most of the day yesterday cleaning house and making food for our Christmas Party with Friends last night.  

The girls were helpful, they cleaned their rooms and then Lexi and Kylie made candy coated popcorn and dipped strawberries in chocolate. 








They had fun helping and it is nice that they are big enough to help do something that actually needs to be done!

Then it was party time. I remembered to take a couple of pictures just as the party started.



And then it was time for fun!! Lots and lots of laughter! And yummy food too!




We had a house full! Lots of friends and even more kids! :) 

That's all the pictures I took. I was too busy enjoying myself!

Stop the Press!

Stop the Presses! 

I made it to TWO events at Lexi's school in ONE day!

As a working mom, I NEVER get to go to anything at my children's school.  Sad really given that I'm a teacher, but I'm one of those parents that the teacher never sees.  My girls are so good about it, but they do notice that I'm not there.  Lexi goes through spurts of asking me to come for lunch or to pick her up, but most of the time I think we are all just pretty resigned to the fact that while I get holidays off to spend with my kids, I won't ever get to see them in things at school.  Well, I guess until they get to high school and are at my school.  And then they will be too old for class Christmas parties!

Okay, enough of the whine and back to the fun.

Today Lexi had a T.O.T.S. performance in gym class. I can't remember what it stands for.  Basically, it's ball handling skills.  She did great.  After the performance, they had parents come out and the kids taught the parents. Good for Doug!! I was happy to be the photographer :)
Then came the class Christmas party! I must say, I so enjoy a well organized classroom and party!  The kids rotated from the letter to Santa station, to the gingerbread house station, to the ornament station, to the snack station and finally to the Christmas tree decorating station.  I know that some classrooms function in chaos, but I just love organized teachers!! Yay Mrs. Priddy!!
