Gift Exchange!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas break and finds some time for family and relaxing. Thank you to everyone that provided our delicious breakfast this morning: breakfast pizza, fruit and yogurt parfaits, and chocolate milk. We also did a neat snowman craft after our gift exchange. Thank you for all the nice gifts I also received - I am blessed to have this great group of kids this year!

I'll see the kids back on Monday, January 4th!
