My school's annual Christmas event/social is called "Deck the Halls." A few weeks prior to the event, all the teachers stayed after school one afternoon and really did deck the halls. We hung garland from every nook and cranny of the building, strung lights on numerous Christmas trees, and jammed to Christmas music over the all-call speaker. My fourth grade team and I decided that our games, at Deck the Halls, would be making reindeer food and reindeer face painting. We had lines of kiddos waiting the entire time of the event; it was a huge hit. I did get to sneak away to eat pancakes and sausage for just a bit, though.
Justin brought the kids by school to take part in the activities; Hadley was more than ready to play the fun games. She made two batches of reindeer food (one each for she and Canaan) to sprinkle on the lawn on Christmas Eve.
This little guy seriously kept us on our toes, though. He is so busy, and I love every minute of it. This little boy melts my mama heart. It's ridiculous.
I can't believe Hadley will begin preschool this coming August. She enjoyed catching a few glimpses of the preschool rooms while she got her fingernails painted. We are working hard at home on her "homework" in the afternoons, so that she won't be behind when she starts preschool. Now that she's not at a public daycare anymore, and staying with a private sitter, I am having to be much more intentional (at home) in our name writing practice, letter recognition practice, and so forth. Hopefully it will help with her preparation, though. Highland's Deck the Halls was a huge hit this year, and I'm so thankful that we were able to make it a family affair. Enjoying every second of this wonderful season!
