Break Time

The last day of school before Christmas break...

Preston's afternoon bus driver said she is retiring now so she won't be back. We loved her. 

Kate made a gingerbread house at her school holiday party. 

I made this cake stand for Kate's teacher for Christmas. You take a melamine plate and bowl and glue them together (I used E-6000 glue). I saw the idea on Pinterest when looking for a Christmas idea for someone else. I bought some gingerbread cookie mix to put on the plate then wrapped it up and added a glittery ornament. Easy and pretty cheap considering the plate and bowl were on clearance. 

Kate had her Christmas sing-a-long at her school the last day and it was so fun. We all joined in singing Christmas songs like Rudolph, Santa's coming to town, jingle bells and they even had us sing "Joy to the World". I was surprised and happy considering it talks about Jesus. Another reason why I love her school. The 2nd grade classes sang "Light a Candly for Peace", so the bottom dark picture is off the 2nd grades holding their candles during the song. Getting a good picture in a gym is hard!
