Christmas was off to a great start! Below are activities leading up until when school let out.
Melissa hosted her office staff's kids at her house to decorate cookies and see Santa. She included my kids
This is the SWEETEST Santa!
He showed the kids magic tricks
We always love decorating the tree. We laid out ALL the ornaments.
It was Adelyn's year to put the angel on top. I couldn't quite get her up there, so Seth had to help her.
Sweet boy hanging ornaments
They always want to sleep under the tree. I made them a thick palate, but it's still on hardwoods!
Roseanne, our elf, lit up the kitchen with lights
She turned the kids into elves and shot at them with nerf bullets. One night she put underwear on the Christmas tree. Of course, that was the day that James's teacher had them write about what their elf did. James said it would be inappropriate to write about underwear at school so he wrote about something else. Shew!
We baked sugar cookies and decorated them
Feeding the kids raw dough. Shame, shame.
The rolling pin is a gun and James is shooting them
Yum- whipped cream!
We hosted our life group Christmas party. Everyone wore their ugly sweaters
Jessica brought photo booth props
Jean and I matched!
Cute kids! I don't have any pictures, but we played some fun games afterwards that had us all cracking up!
Seth pulled the kids out of school a little early to go see two Star Wars movies. They saw The Force Awakens followed by The Last Jedi (the new one). This picture is before school started (Seth didn't wear the costume to the movies). He's always the fun dad!
We saw Santa! James asked for Big League Chew (so he'll be better at baseball)
All of the kindergarteners sang Christmas songs in Santa hats for their performance
Grandma, Grandpa, and James
Proud of this kindergartner!
They decorated gingerbread houses in the classroom
On the last day of school, they honored the Principal Pals (students selected each quarter by teachers for hard work). Adelyn was pumped to be chosen!
Y'all, she is such a good girl. Third grade started off a little rough. It's definitely more challenging work, but she has put forth great effort and is bringing home top notch grades.

Adelyn's party had 4 stations: making ornaments (using tinsel, plastic balls, and markers), making ice cream sundaes, games, and making slime. Can you think of anything messier? But I do believe they had the best party in the whole school!
This catches us up to December 21st! The kids got out later this year, and I'm still trying to decide if I liked that or not! They don't go back until January 8th, so that's nice. Whenever/however the break falls, these kids have been SO excited about all the Christmas fun! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
