A visit from Old St. Who?

Is there anything more exciting in Kindergarten than the Christmas party? Well, actually there is. The anticipation of the fieldtrip to see the Nutcracker was pretty intense, only to be extinguished by the actual ballet. But that's another post. Anyway, it was a super fun day in Mrs. "Primes" class. She's a smart one, that little lady, she let the kids open their presents FIRST! Wonder what it is.....

Oh my goodness, it's our very first First Reader Book, and of course some candy!!

Okay, this picture is absolutely precious, and inappropriate. Mrs. P was reading a story about...what was it DAJ, a crippled lamb? Anyway, I looked down and Mimi Kate and T are totally holding hands during the story... they're only 6!

Then we had a kickin' breakfast of chicken mini's and just a tad of fruit. Yummy Yummy.

And now for the visit...Who needs Santa when Jesse's here!!!

I wish I'd had a video on those kids when he walked in. They were speechless. They all just stared at him and got all shy. It was adorable. And Mimi Kate took the cake. She jumped right out of her seat and ran across the room all frazzled. It was precious.

Mrs. P had to grab her some love b/4 the kids came out of their comas.

Once he got on the floor w/ them it was all over. They were chatting him up like the hero he

is. He got all kinds of information, some of it a little creepy, but all w/ good intentions. Ha!

I need to set this picture up...we got Mrs. P a gift tree from the class. It had an ornament from each child and a gift card or cash w/ it. T saw a $20 and was telling Jess all kinds of facts about Andrew Jackson. And then he asked Mrs. P if she might want to give it to him. She did not. ha

See I told you they warmed up!! They were sooooo happy to have him there and he was incredibly sweet to come and spend some time w/ them.

Ok, now it's time to decorate some cookies. And eat some candy.

Beautiful! And tasty!

Look at these handsome boys!!

Mrs. Prine had to get in on that action! She is so precious. She just loves them despite the fact that they're boys!!

This is the only time the kids sat still and quiet..... and that was b/c they were playing quiet game. It was so nice!

Finally we took a trip on the Polar Express. See what I mean, those Kindergarteners sure know how to party!!!!!


P.S. This is why I love CAK.
(As I've said b/4, go to the bottom and mute this beautiful song so you can hear this)
