Sorry all but the holly, jolly christmas season was waaaaay too busy! So this is the first installment of "catch-up photos". I will try and post a new one each day for the next week or so. Then we can begin the new year!
To begin we had a GINORMOUS christmas party! I think there were approximately 30 kids, and their parents. Soooo much fun. We decorated cookies, wrote letters to Santa, made christmas stocking ornaments, played games and Santa (aka Mike) came to visit!
Somehow in all the madness I did NOT get a photo of the cookie decorating station. Definitely a BIG hit. We went through 75 cookies in less than an hour! But here are a few stockings the kids made. So cute.

Patiently waiting for Santa....


Or wrestling to pass the agonizing minutes!

He's here! He's here!!!

Everyone got a kick out of Mike's act!
I got a few videos but they didn't come out so well - too much background noise. So sad.But here's Maggie,

and Max.
Ravid is Jewish and she was VERY excited about her first Santa sighting :o)
Gracie wasn't too sure about the fat man with the beard!

But Liam was he wanted a turn next!

Santa gave them all a stocking filled with goodies.
Max can now blow-up balloons all by himself.

Pin the star on the christmas tree was a favorite game.


See I win.


Prizes!

Cute but blurry picture of Maggie and Robin.
Chau Santa!!! See you next year!
