Christmas Program

Well we are done with Pre-K for the year. On Tuesday they had their class Christmas party. I volunteered to be a party helper, so I brought a snack and helped with the party. They played bingo and they they decorated cupcakes with tree/star marshmellows, sprinkles and M&Ms. After they ate they sang a couple songs that they were learning.

Anna & Madison playing Bingo - Madison won the second game.

Tonight they had their Christmas Program. They sang five christmas songs. It was the entire preschool, so the 3's were in the first row, 4's in the second row and 5's in the last row. Which meant that I really couldn't see my children. On the video you can see Anna in the back row, but since Madison is shorter than some 3 year olds, you never see her. Anna is also the only child not wearing an ornament hat, not a shocker. After the singing, Santa surprised them and read The Night Before Christmas. After the program the kids visited with Santa and told them what they wanted for Christmas. At first Madison wasn't going to tell him, she wanted me to, but she did it in the end. Of course Anna didn't want to get near Santa so I didn't push the issue. They ate too many cookies and consequently, they are still up!!!!!

Waiting for the program to start

Christmas Season

Well, I thought I would give blogging a shot. I am really bad about updating webshots, so I thought adding a few photos every week would be easier.

We are ready for Christmas. The girls are anxious for Santa to come and they complain that "It's taking too long". I'm done with my shopping and almost done wrapping gifts. Our house is decorated, outdoor lights put up and the christmas tree is decorated. Anna loved decorating the tree, she clumped a bunch of ornaments in the middle of the tree at her eye level. She was very proud of herself.


We went Clam Lights at Gene Coulon Park last weekend to watch the official tree lighting. We listened to music, huddled by the fire and watched the boat parade. It was very chilly, but not raining, so tolerable.
