Trey and Jada's School Christmas Party

Yes, this was on the same day as Seth's.  Luckily Seth's was from 10am-noon.  Trey's and Jada's were both at 1:45.  Not much time to get the boys down for naps.  Luckily for me, the gal I carpool with for Seth's preschool was able to watch both the boys while I went to Trey and Jada's parties.  Seth loved it too because he got to play at his friend, Jaeda's, house.  This is "Little Jaeda" as we call her.

So here are a few pic I managed to capture as I bounced between Trey and Jada's classroom parties.

 Had to get this.  This is Stephanie Heidenreich in the antlers.  Isn't she a trooper?!?!  Goll we love her and her whole family!  We are so glad they are our neighbors.  

 Trey says he doesn't do his little hand thing anymore when he gets excited.  Oh yeah?!?!  As you can see, he had so much fun.  They played a lot of games in their party so I wasn't able to get many pictures because the room was so crowded and they kiddos were moving all around. Ms. Shaw was much appreciative of Trey's gift of school supplies.  And she loved the extra storage box.  Can you ever have too many of those?

 Jada's doughnut snowman.  Cute huh?

 And of course - eating the snowman!  Such a lady, yes?

 Pin the nose on the snowman.  The kids had so much fun!  And Jada just loves Mrs. Bellando.  Jada wanted to give her a necklace for Christmas.  So, I had an idea to let her make a beaded necklace.  Then realized I'd bought something wrong, and went to Hobby Lobby to get the right beads for what we were going to do.  In the process found the most darling little bee and heart charms.  Jada's class is "Bellando's Bee-lievers".  So we put it on a chain with a little note that explained that the bee was for being a "Bee-liever" and the heart was because Mrs. Bellando captured Jada's heart and now has a big place in it.  Jada said when she opened it and read the note, she cried!  That made me so proud of her and myself.  And I think that, for the first time,  Jada really felt how good it feels to give a good gift.  Something I know will be easy and will only grow within her!  She loves to make others feel good. 

While the day was busy it was filled with fun and excitement.  We just love Christmas time!!
