Christmas Parties

Last week was a week full of Christmas parties.  It started on Tuesday with Jillian's  party at school.  Here she is in her Christmas shirt.  Her face cracks me up.  I wasn't able to make it to her party but she seemed to have a great time.  She came home with lots of goodies.

 Thursday morning was Hadley's party at school.  Jillian was in school at the same time so I was able to help with the party.  They all seemed to have a good time.  We made reindeer food, snowman and reindeer snacks and an adorable fingerprint ornament.  I love getting to be back in the the classroom from time to time and see all the little kiddos.  Hadley had a great time.  One of the best parts of the party was when their class elf on the shelf, Jingle brought them a present.  It was a huge box wrapped with lots of smaller boxes wrapped inside.  The kids thought it was funny.  Finally they got to their present, candy canes.  They were very excited and thought their elf was very silly.  Here is my girl all grown up.

 Thursday afternoon was parent observation day and party day at ballet/tap/jazz class.  Hadley did great.  I had never seen her do her jazz dance and she really got into it.  Here is our beautiful ballerina.

 Friday morning was a busy morning and I was very thankful that Mike had the day off.  Jillian had parent observation day and party at tumbling and Hadley was singing for the Grandma and Grandpa's at school.  Both things were at 10am so we had to divide and conquer.  I videotaped Hadley's performance and Mike took pictures at Jillian's.  Jillian looks all grown-up in this picture.

 We ended Friday night by getting in jammies and going to see Christmas lights.  It was fun but about 30 minutes into it Hadley said, "Can we go home and go to bed?"  It was a busy week and she was done.
