Christmas Vacation, here we come!

Today is our first day of Christmas vacation! 
Lots of celebrations have been happening at school this last week!
It all started on Monday with this:

When your second grader doesn't have to do any writing projects or CORE math, it feels like you are on vacation!❤︎
On Wednesday, Ryder had his class Christmas party:  

Eden got out of her class during their party, so after checking with Ryder, she was invited...❤︎

 She felt like such a big kid!

They had a book exchange, played relay races, made ornaments, played Christmas Bingo, did a Christmas ring toss, then ate treats and drank cocoa while watching the Grinch!  It was such a fun party!

He is SO excited about Christmas!

Yesterday, Eden had hers:

They made Christmas trees with icing and candy:

 

They decorated ornaments:

Then ate a plate full of goodies and had extra play time on the playground!

And the best part of the ENTIRE party...?
Mrs. Wigley was BACK!!!

She has been on a medical leave and we haven't had her in the classroom for over a month and a half!  It felt like Christmas came early.❤︎  I got choked up when I saw her.  I can't tell you how much we ADORE this woman!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, today we enjoy that we have two weeks off!  We are looking forward to all the family time that lies ahead and all the opportunities to celebrate the birth of JESUS!❤︎
