School Christmas Party

Running behind on posts! But last week was the end of the first semester of 1st grade for R. I can't believe how fast time flies by! Lots of fun at the Christmas Party!
I am very blessed to be the home room mom for R's class. I love every minute of it.

This snowman on a stick is VERY deceiving! Looks so nice and pretty here. Unfortunatley, that is NOT how they ended up going home with the kids. Oh, a few were ok, but there were a few that were awful. I am hoping the parents thought they got smushed in the backpacks LOL. Needless to say, I WON"T be doing these again. When you put the stick thru the donuts, the donuts sometimes crack. GRRR!!!!!! Anyway, they were a pain, but still fun to do! :)

The snack for the party was Smore's. Chosen by the other 1st grade homeroom moms. I despise cold smores so I was determined to somehow have a 'cold smore' with 'melted chocolate' if that makes sense! Anyway, I melted the almond bark, and put on 2 graham crackers, then put a peppermint marshmallow on top then drizzled with more chocolate. They were soo yummy! The new seasonal marshmallows have a tiny hint of peppermint flavor. Just enough! The kids loved them and even the parents that tried them liked them!

Someone felt the need to add decor to the Tree! Raegan laughed soo hard this morning! That bad ol' elf!

The Jolly Old Elf

A visit to Santa was made in Branson when we were there for Thanksgiving.

Lots of wishes were made I'm sure!

Speaking of elves, we have started the Elf on the Shelf tradition at our household. Our Elf, named Elfie, has been having a bit too much fun here!
