Ah, another holiday season, another round of school Christmas parties. Mass was first, followed by the Christmas play. Claire auditioned for and received the role of the donkey this year, and Alcee was chosen to be an angel. They both did great!
After mass and the play, we walked over to the boys’ classrooms. It was very convenient having them right across the hall from each other. I stayed with Rory while Riley went back and forth from Rory’s room to his, showing me all of the candy he was eating. Wonk potatoes. And I was delighted to see that Rory made a special Christmas placemat this year, just like Riley did when he was in PK4. Rory got donut holes and fruit, and he also gave Mrs. Sue and Ms. Megan their “Cozy Little Christmas” presents.
Once we were done in Rory’s room, we went over to Riley’s. He gave Ms. Paulin and Ms. Cobb their gifts and I snapped a pic with all of the remaining 2nd graders. We also spotted their class elf and reindeer, Jingles and Coco.
And with that, the boys’ Christmas break officially began! We had their school friends over for a little party that afternoon. They had a great time playing, exchanging gifts, and having dinner together.
Then we loaded up and went over to Lafreniere Park to see the lights. It was totally gross outside but they had fun anyway, even with the lack of “snow” in the pavilion. Not sure why they didn’t do it this year; it was a hit last year!
Christmas Eve and Day recaps coming up next!
