Preschool "Pretty Cool" Christmas

Lunch time!Mac with his tree.


Granville really enjoyed making, and eating, his edible Christmas tree!


And so did Ryan!



And sweet Mella!


Ruthie too!
This past Wednesday was my day to host preschool, and it was three hours of crazy, chaotic fun (and learning, of course)! We talked and read about baby Jesus, sang Away in a Manger, made Christmas tree ornaments and edible Christmas trees, ate lunch, and had free time for play! This is a fun group of kiddos to be sure. I think there is a budding preschool romance between Mac and Mella. They were holding hands during story time. We tried to do a live Nativity but we were having squabbles between the two girls who both wanted to be Mary, and Granville was not interested at all. He, understandably, wanted to play with Thomas the train. Ryan did want to be Joseph and then the donkey, but all I had were bunny ears, so he wore a brown grocery bag and pink and white bunny ears. I guess he was a rabbonkey. Or a donkunny. Or a bunnkey. Whatever the name, it was super cute. And Mella did a solo- Away in a Manger- so precious. Ruthie is definitely the mother hen as the oldest kid, very funny to observe in a group like this. After all was said and done I sent the kids home hopped up on frosting; I know those moms were so thankful!

Oh Merrill...what fun!!We had a coop preschool when Mallory was little. The moms were all former teachers so it was not only fun for the kiddos, but a way for us to keep our fingers in teacher mode a bit. From the looks of those happy smiles in your pictures, it appears the gang had a blast.
Love you...miss you, Lisa
