The kids enjoyed a lot of activities at school during the holiday season -- I did enjoy many (if not all) teachers and fellow-parents extending "Merry Christmas" wishes vs. "Happy Holidays." This is a great area of Georgia with good "all American," Christian values. We're so glad to be among the majority here! Okay, 
enough of the soap box...on with the pictures.
It all st
arted in early December with holiday luncheons (ahem...Christmas luncheons!)...first Chase on Tuesday and then Madie on Thursday. Turkey and Stove Top stuffing (Chase ranted about how "this is the best stuffing I've ever had".... he didn't touch my "Bell Seasoning" version the week prior!)
During Madison's luncheon we all enjoyed a special rendition of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer sung by her class! She's in the first row, second from the left.

Any one would certainly withstand the weight of our ornaments, each with its own story, and stand tall in our great room -- something I was really hoping for. So we found the perfect tree... Oka

And we had tons of fun at the Polar Express party (1st Grade) -- I even volunteered to help with snacks and hot chocolate -- you should've seen me in my jammies...or not! And Chase had a great party in his class. The
y played Bingo and made reindeer food and decorated cookies (I brought in the trees!) Madie made a cute little "gingerbread" house... actually Chase did that too! We had three houses to eat this year!

The holidays continue...I'll post this and start another post ...some day soon!
