Madeleine's Christmas Party

Friday was Madeleine's winter party at school. She was pretty excited about it, but mostly because she knew it was the beginning of Christmas vacation. That means 2 whole weeks of no school! She was ready for a break -- we all were -- and we've been counting the days remaining in school until vacation time!

Harrison, Charlotte and I got there right on time. In fact, we pulled into the parking lot just as her class was coming in from recess & had plenty of help getting all of our gear inside. While we waited for Matt to join us (he had an early dismissal that day) the kids all made rudolph ornaments and munched on some yummies. The kid that sits next to Madeleine was absent, so Harrison happily took that spot and became a 1st grader for the afternoon!

Charlotte just crawled around near us and was pretty happy as long as she was playing iwth my keys! She was amazingly well behaved, especially considering that the party fell during her naptime and she didn't get a nap.

After goodies it was time for some Christmas bingo. Harrison didn't play, but instead was fascinated with the coyote skin behind them.

We had a great time as always hanging out at M's school. She does such a wonderful job at school and I love being up there with her!
