Christmas Parties

On Wednesday was Victoria and Bella's Christmas parties and music program. Bella's class of 2 year olds preformed a S.A.N.T.A. (sung to Bingo) and Where is Santa (sung to Where is Thumpkin). Victoria's preK classes preformed Bethlehem Lullaby (sung to Brahms Lullaby) and Old St. Nicholas (sung to Old McDonald). The kids had a hard time with the songs and the teacher had to sing loudly for the audience to understand. Call me traditional, but I wanted some Jingle Bells and Silent Night. Bella preformed first and really didn't even know what was going on- she did keep looking for me. As she was leaving stage I shouted her name and she turned to look at me and was happy. Victoria preformed next. This year I made sure Victoria knew I was there from the get go by shouting her name too. (Last year she was upset and thought I wasn't there.) She so preformed for me the whole time. It was kind of funny though- the three kids below her were goofing off the whole time. At one point the little boy put a choke hold on the little girl who was instigating it and laughing the entire time. Then the two boys got into a punching match and one was removed from stage. Ah, the excitement of Christmas programs.

Victoria had her class party after the program. They ate donuts and made penguin and Santa ornaments and a reindeer bouncy ball with paddle.

They also did a book exchange and Victoria received the book Hugs and Kisses- a cute book about a puppy dog looking for the best kiss and finds it his Mom.

Bella's Christmas party was in the afternoon. They ate cute sugar cookies shaped like ornaments with their names on them in icing. Of coarse, every kid licked off their name first. Can you guess what color Bella's name was by the color on her nose?

Bella the red Nose Reindeer :)
She takes after her dad :) They both had a lot of fun at their parties.
