Around the World at Preschool!

Last Friday the kiddos had their last day of school before Christmas and they celebrated with a little party (and invited their parents). They had a nifty little "Christmas Around the World" theme and each classroom was decorated as a different country (England, Sweden, Ireland, Germany, and Mexico) and the teacher in each room told about the traditions of each different country while we visited. Ok, so this was a bit much (and a bit boring) for the 2 year olds, but I enjoyed it and the kids got a stamp in each room, so it worked out!

Gillian wanted to wear a fancy dress and so she did! This was actually LAST year's dress and it fits her much better this year. It's a 24 months, but it must run HUGE. The bloomers that match it STILL don't fit her waist, too big!


Here are the kids listening to stories about other countries. Their favorite part was learning about the pickle ornaments that German families hide on their trees as a game on Christmas. Grammy has a pickle for her tree, so maybe we'll try to find it this year!



After our long journey around the world, we came back to Miss Heather's room for cookies and punch! YUM!


We had a very nice time at the party and the kids had fun too, I think! I know they love school and pretty much anything that comes along with it! We can't wait to get back after the New Year!
