Anna's Holiday Party

Today was Anna's holiday party at school! Daddy surprised Anna and came to the party! When we arrived at the school, each child handed their parents a program and then escorted them to their seats. We then enjoyed a wonderful concert of holiday songs and a class presentation of the Russian folktale "The Mitten" (Anna's part was the owl)

After a delicious snack of cheese, fruit, cookies and juice, the children were surprised with a special visit from Santa; who knew details of each child in the class and had a special gift for everyone! It was a great party!

Saying the class blessing before snack...
Santa! He knew that Anna had a younger brother named Jake and that butterflies decorate her bedroom...how does he know that?!?
Anna had been busy at school these past few days working on a special project that was a secret! Today she presented the gift to us...a wall hanging of a wreath made out her handprints!
Opening the present from her teachers...her own copy of "The Mitten"!
