Class Christmas Party

Friday morning I helped out with Madelyn's class Christmas party. They started the morning off with the entire gradeschool singing Christmas songs in the gym. Then all the kids headed to their classrooms for the parties. Madelyn's class started with a blueberry muffin and hot chocolate snack. Then they made candy cane reindeer and reindeer food. I sure hope Rudolf can spot all the glitter from way up high. Then the kids exchanged gifts. Each child brought a gently used book for a gift. I thought that was a nifty idea especially considering the financial crunch some folks are feeling right now. Then Mrs. Olson gave each of the kids a new book. Madelyn received a Skippy Jon Jones book, her absolute favorite. The party was over and I was on my way to work shortly after 9:00am.
**I tried to get Madelyn to wear a cute Christmas shirt but she insisted on wearing her Lincoln Elementary School t-shirt. It wasn't a battle worth fighting.




After eating pizza hut pizza for lunch, Madelyn was picked up by her daddy and got to ride the wrestling boys bus to the JV tournament in Council Grove. Now Ryan and Madelyn are out of school for two whole weeks. On the bright side, the house will be clean and laundry will be caught up for two weeks.
