Christmas Parties

The last day of school before Christmas break is a favorite day of celebration for the F.C.S. families. This year was no exception!
The joy and excitement radiated throughout the school's campus and the classrooms were overflowing with parents, grandparents, gifts and yummy food. This year was exceptionally challenging- 3 kids & 3 classrooms. I needed a clone! It was Hailey's last year on the elementary campus and Bethany's first. Keagan wanted me for the whole time. Dividing my time equally between all three kids was definitely challenging.

Miss Bethany is always a good sport about sharing mom.
These cupcakes were extraordinary! The white and green chocolate leaves were delicately made using mint leaves. This Kindergarten mom must have a lot of time on her hands. They were inquisitive!
Bethany was so embarrassed that I would come to her school without my eye make-up on. On the other hand, I was just happy to have made it there on time with the food, staff treats & Christmas letters for all three classrooms, make-up or no make-up. I shouldn't complain Beth could be like her sister, Hailey who would melt down if she had to go to school with her hair uncurled.
Mrs. Crawford's daughter, Melodi and grand-daughter, Maxine, joined in on the festivities.
Keagan loved his unique mustache until everyone in the class copied him.

This is the desert table for the 4th grade class!

I just love these girls! They still were their fancy Christmas dresses on the last day of school.
Hailey made white chocolate Christmas bark for everyone in her class. You are so thoughtful, Hailey.
Later that evening, Hailey attended a class party in the home of one of her classmates. There was neighborhood caroling, a white elephant gift exchange, food, games & even some girl drama(I am so thankful that Hailey is NOT a dramatic person). I feel blessed.
The Annual F.D. Christmas party was held at St. 4 this year with an early morning pancake breakfast. The change seemed to be loved by all. Unfortunately, Kelden and mom were home sick.
Every fire department event is a great hit when Captain Dave is there.
