Christmas Parties

Nicholas had his party at the ELC this past Wednesday and Jonathan had his at school today. They seemed to enjoy themselves and were so proud of the things they made and the treats they received from the parties. It does not take much to make my kids excited! Jonathan's new phrase is 'it's perfect'. That is exactly what he said about his goody bag (it was actually a stocking).
The boys both had pizza at their parties (a staple with children). Nicholas' teacher put alot of work into the ornaments that they made for the parents. Nicholas was so proud of his creations..One in particular. It was a breakable snowflake! He gave it to me in a gift bag and he was so excited that he tried to open it up so he could show it to me and it fell on the floor and broke. He was so upset he just about started to cry. I comforted him and told him we would try to fix it. But my heart was broken too. It was such a cute ornament!
Jonathan also made an ornament at school that I got today. His teacher let them paint elbow macaroni and they shaped into a wreath with a picture of him in the middle of the wreath. It is so cute and now I have a picture to remember his kindergarten year.
Here are some of my favorite Christmas items they hav brought home from their parties.
