Christmas in January




Xavier's preschool Christmas party was cancelled due to bad weather. It was rescheduled for the day they returned to school in January. It felt a little strange to be celebrating after all the decorations were put away, but the party went very smoothly. We started with cookie painting. The 12 were then divided into 3 groups that rotated through 3 centers.
1. Game-pass the gift
2. Baby Jesus craft
3. Story about Jesus' Birthday
I read the story, which was almost impossible because we were sitting next to the game. All the kids were completely focused on what was in the package being passed around the circle. At one point in the story, I asked the group what they wanted to be when they grew up. The blue group...Liz: teacher, Matthew: Mommy, Xavier: Daddy, Evan: truck driver. Matthew then turns to Xavier and says "I'm gonna marry you!" Note to self, avoid Matthew at all costs! Ha!
