Christmas Celebration

Last night was the Christmas Celebration at the girls school. (They both go to the same school that teaches ages preschool up to 4th grade). This is one of their favorite activities of the year because it is so much fun. When we first got there we went to the art room where they had tall glass bottles that the kids could fill up with "Reindeer Food". There was a cute little poem attached to the bottle that says: "Magic reindeer food: Sprinkle on the lawn at night, The moon will make is sparkle bright. Santa's reindeer fly and roam, This will guide them to your home."

Here are some pictures of the girls filling their bottles of reindeer food:

Every 30 minutes they called any kids that were there to come up on the steps to sing some Christmas Carols. Kaylee and Gabby went up and since Gabby was right there with Kaylee then Kaylee wasn't shy. She went up and sang!!!! Then to top it off she sang loud and did all the actions for the songs. I was so happy that they both went up and sang. The kids sang "Here comes Santa Claus" really loud to get santa to come out.

After they were done singing we went to the kitchen for desert before we went to see Santa. They had Chocolate Covered strawberries, brownies, cookies, and tons of other treats that were SOOOO yummy. After we were done with our treats we took the girls over to see Santa. They both asked Santa for Teddy Bears because we had bought Teddy Bears to put under the tree at their school for their bear drive to give to the Fire Department. So, since they put the teddy bears that we had just bought under the tree they both asked Santa for a teddy bear.

As we were leaving the Christmas Celebration we stopped and picked up the Chrismtas gifts that the kids had made. Kaylee's class did interview CDs. The teacher asked her a bunch of questions and she responded...some of her responses were really funny. The file is to big to put on here but I will see if I can add it somehow.

Gabby's class did a cookbook. They asked each child what their favorite food was and how to make it and then put it together in a little spiral bound book. Here is Gabby's page:
and, yes, pancakes are her favorite food. It's always either pancakes or cream cheese sandwiches.
