Our Christmas 2008

Christmas came a little early to our house. We are leaving for Hereford, my home town, on Tuesday so Santa came early. We started off the night making Gingerbread houses. The 3L's got in their pjs and had some fun!
Landry was so serious at building his little house.

I have to laugh at their Gingerbread houses and how they resemble their little personalities. Lauren is all or nothing, Landry is lots of chimneys so Santa can come more than once to his house, Luke is everything in a row and pefect as can be. ha!

Off to see Christmas lights in the neighborhood.

God Bless you!

Spring Valley Christmas Party

This year I am room parent to Lauren's 4th grade class AND Luke's Kindergarten class. (A bit stressful at times but these 2L's are worth it!) Friday was their Christmas party. I started off with the 4th grade party. They were so easy. We did donuts, treats, and a couple of games. Mrs. Humphrey has a great group of kids. One of them I know pretty well. ha! This is Lauren and her good friend Amy. You always have to have a silly picture to bribe any age to take a serious one I guess. Here it is!

Class of 2008-09 4th Grade

Then it was time for Lukey's kindergarten party. We started off with Bingo. Oh my! I never thought about them Bingoing at the same time. Crazy! but fun.

Luke's teacher, Mrs. Fortenberry, won the Golden Apple award for teachers so the kids surprised her with a rose from each of them. It was really sweet to see these little kids love on their teacher.

The star of the class.....Lukey...well, he was to me! I loved getting to play games and have snacks with him too. 2008 school year is over! 2 weeks off and the 3L's are excited!! I think Santa will be at the Reed house soon. (next post to come)

Merry Christmas
