Christmas is coming!
Yesterday was the day for class Christmas parties! Fun, fun! Ethan's class had a breakfast full of donuts with a bit of fruit thrown in and Grace had a "formal" brunch. The 3rd grade had been learning about manners and etiquette all week and the brunch was their chance to practice what they'd learned. They got to dress in their holiday finest and sit at a long table (aka a bunch of desks shoved together with a paper tablecloth....or maybe it was real. Can't recall.) and eat their bruch. After Ethan's class was done eating their breakfast, his teacher read us all 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Today is pajama day at school and they get to drink hot chocolate and watch The Polar Express. What a magical time for kids! Although I think I get more excited about Christmas now then I did when I was a child. The kids and I made a gingerbread house last night--1st one I've ever done. We decided we'd make it a tradition, the kids had a great time. Of course, as you can see from the picture, they did more icing-eating than decorating. And we have had to stick it in the microwave to protect it from the garbage disposal known as Tess. She ate FOURTEEN cookies off the bar the other night while they were cooling. It's always exciting at the Galentines!! But we sure have fun!
