Christmas Parties Galore!

It was a big, busy day for us!  Jonathan is out of town (of course), and we happened to have both kid's Christmas celebrations at school today!  Luckily timing worked out for me and Ryan and I just hopped, skipped, and jumped from one school to another! 


I am room mom for Katelynn's class so it was defintely a lot of work today between keeping up with all the parties and making sure to actually host all of Katelynn's!  I am EXHAUSTED, but the kids all had a blast and are super excited that Christmas is almost here!


Justin's preschool class sang us some Christmas songs and played musical instruments.  They did an excellent job!

We left Justin's school performance and potluck lunch to head over to Katelynn's play and party.  Justin was able to come and participate some in the kindergarten activities!

Katelynn's class performed a play on "Traditions Around the World".  Katelynn had a few lines to recite by memory, and I was so proud of her.  She didn't forget them even in front of the audience and she even spoke pretty loud and clear!

 I am realizing how few pictures I got of Katelynn's super big party!  We did so much:  the play, followed by four activity centers where the kids were able to decorate gingerbread cookies, have a snack, play the driedel game, and make a Christmas tree ornament.  Then they all got to participate in a gift game and break a pinata open to load up on candy!  It was a great time!

I could almost cry.  Okay, maybe I am crying a little bit.  While I was successful at juggling to keep Ryan with me and videotaping and snapping pictures, in the end I am sad to say that the videos of both Justin's singing performance and Katelynn's play are gone.  They accidentally got deleted off my camera and more pictures were snapped before I could recover them off the card.  It really sucks to lose something you can never have repeated to get more video.  :(
