The Grinch & School Parties

Trying to catch up again...

12/16-Crosby's class Christmas party was sweet.  I loved getting to be there with him--he is such a joy to me.  They made cards, played games, did a craft and had a snack.  Second grade is a cute age.  

Dec 15 & 19-Drama Club presents How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  The kids did GREAT!  Alexee had a wonderful time doing it.   A huge "thank-you" to the amazing drama club instructors that put so much time into helping the students do this!

So proud of Alexee for trying out and getting involved in something new!  It's super fun to watch her grow!

Mom & Dad drove up of the evening show on the 15th, then they came over for dinner afterward.  I tried this recipe for a gingerbread cake for dessert.    

The second performance of the Grinch was during the monthly awards assembly.  Alexee received a math club award for scoring in the top 50% on a nation-wide, online exam.  Way to go, A!

Rhett is becoming a great cook!  I look forward to letting him make all the meals around here soon!  :)  He made these peanut butter bars for a class party with no help at all.  He let us share the leftovers, and they were delicious!   The last day of the semester was PJ day for C & A.  That day was also A's class party.  Her teacher asked all the girls to plan the winter party, and the boys will get to plan the valentine party.  They decided to have a hot chocolate bar, photo booth (Alexee is working at that station in the photo below), paper snowflake craft table and a snack table.  It was fun to celebrate with her class.

C's sweet teacher gave each student a Humphrey book for Christmas!   So thoughtful!  It's hard to believe we are half-way through this school year.  Time for CHRISTMAS BREAK!
