Christmas Stuff

I am the room mom for Tanner's class parties this year. This means that I get to stress over the parties- but it also means that I get to take pictures of him in his class!

It was "Super Hero day" at school. They collected enough canned food for charity to earn dress down days all week. They kids LOVED it. I was not amused. It was like Halloween every day- retro day, famous person day, career day, etc... For a school that wears uniforms, it was so fun for the kids. I like them dressing themselves instead of me coming up with something that fits the theme.

So Tanner is "Super T" while he makes a finger painted reindeer.
I love this next game. They put toothpicks in their mouth and had to pass a Life Saver down the row. This made me laugh. Don't get too close to that girl Tanner! In similar news- I learned this week that Tanner has 3 girlfriends at school. Do I need to be worried? This is 2nd grade!

Jaxon's scouts made gingerbread houses. I am his Webelos leader- so I got to collect all the candy, and prepare everything. Those 10 year old boys are really fun. They do everything on their own and have such fun personalities.

Because I knew that my little kids would want to do it too- I made enough for 3 extra.

Nothing fancy-- but a lot of fun.

Chase has a little playgroup. This week was at our house. This group of kids is so sweet. They play together so nicely. Here we are coloring our christmas pictures.

We also had a bunch of other holiday stuff, Jaxon choir performances, ward party, work parties, and neighborhood parties. We loved it all. But...

This week we have NOTHING. No parties, no school. I am excited to do what I want to do with my kids. I also think I have all the presents bought and most of the other busy stuff done. (Of course starting Friday we start the Christmas festivities- but until then- nothing!) I am looking forward to it.
