We had a great Christmas party that W put on for our last day of Blue Preschool of this year. It was a lot of fun and we were so glad to have everyone there!
The kids started out by painting popsicle stick Christmas tree ornaments with their Moms. After they were dry the Moms could put a picture of their child in the tree!
After the painting we played pin-the-nose on Rudolph (that R had made) and the kids thought it was pretty fun to put on a blind-fold.
Next B helped the kids play Santa bowling. All the kids were pretty good at this and had fun knocking the pins down and helping B set them back up again.
The kids then got to take a whack at a candy cane piñata that C had brought. Some of those kids have very strong arms! They thought that was fun and were excited to get little airplanes and treats from the piñata when they broke it open.
B and J then took the kids into another room and they read some Christmas stories while the other Moms got lunch ready. For lunch we made quesadillas, carrots, snowman pretzels, reindeer sausages, and had a wonderful fruit Christmas tree that J made.
Finally all the kids got to sit in a circle and pass around their white elephant presents that they had brought while singing Once There Was a Snowman! After the song ended they got to open up the present and see what they got! It was a fun party and we hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year!

Gardner Village- Elf Hunt
We had a really fun field trip to Gardner Village for a Christmas Elf Hunt. (We had been planning on going sledding for our snow/winter week, but the snow all melted before we got the chance!) It was a lot of fun and the weather pretty much cooperated- it was a little cold at first, but once we started walking it was great. C had printed off a bunch of Elf Hunt scavenger hunts for us to follow and we walked around the village looking for the Elves on our list. We actually ended up finding all but one, which they told us later was up high on a building so we didn't see it. They were nice and gave each boy a candy cane anyway. Afterwards we went over to the bakery and got some lunch. We missed P and EM and hope to see them next week!
Here's the whole group in front of some of the first elves we saw that were roasting marshmallows by a fire.
T and G in front of a cute covered bridge.
The Preschool boys on a Christmas truck with some elves. G did not want to sit on the truck so he sat on the wheel which worked out just fine. (Boys from left to right: EW, little J, G, and T.)
T about to blow a kiss to this elf carrying Christmas packages.
The Elf barbershop. Really cute. They had very clever displays like this all over the village.
**Moms: if you have more pictures please share them!
