Christmas Celebrations

As if the excitement of a Christmas Party isn't enough by itself, look who decided to surprise the kids...
Many of the kids in Sophia's class were very intimidated and quite shy.
I believe one little boy even wet his pants after his Santa encounter (poor guy).
But not Sophia.
She knew if she wanted to get her list of gifts, she would have to talk to the big guy...
And maybe even seal the deal with a hug...
Lily's class got the Santa Surprise next...
They were all very shocked to see him with their own eyes.
The little girl behind Lily didn't know what to do.
So she kept covering and uncovering her eyes...
After the excitement of Santa passed, Sophia and her buddies had a snowman snack...
And played some reindeer games...
All the kids were blindfolded...
But only Sophia was wise enough (or should I say "sneaky" enough) to take advantage of a not so strategically placed blindfold...
Please pay close attention to where my "blindfolded" child places her red nose...
The others weren't so obvious in their cheating...
After snack and games, the preschool class went about their normal daily activities.
Centers is a favorite of the whole class.
Sophia spent her center her time with her favorite buddy, Caroline...
After lunch, the kids gathered around the Christmas tree...
They did a book exchange...
This was the perfect type of gift exchange for Sophia...
She LOVES her books...
Although she really liked the getting side of Christmas, she couldn't wait to give to her teachers...
From one event on to the next.
Lily's class party...
Once again, the kids had sweets galore...
And Chippy looked on with just the tiniest bit of jealousy...
Another book exchange was done in Lily's kindergarten class.
A wonderful idea for these emerging readers...
Another busy party day.
Two more successful parties.
Merry Christmas!
