Pre Winter Break

Almost two weeks ago Vanessa and Zane worked hard to prepare treats for teachers, school resource people, and classmates, just before launching into winter break. One of the moms pointed out that its the last holiday party for our 5th graders. That brings a lot of relief but it also feels too soon to be closing that chapter for V.

They gave personalized gifts to their closest teachers and they made homemade caramel sauce packed with apples for their extracurricular teachers, principal, secretaries, and custodians.

Zane made reindeer applesauce cups for his classmates. And Vanessa made snowmen cheese sticks. Zane's class party was hopping with games, crafts, and treats. I was able to spend most of my time with Vanessa's class, where she played 6 different games, ate a ton of treats, and asked to take a picture with me. She was so tickled to use the "ugly sweater" photo prop.

Between school and organized groups, we partied way hard this Christmas season.
