And, in with the new!
The Sign…
…of a great Christmas Party!
Ornaments!
I LOVE Chippy! That Elf on the Shelf is great! I had not gotten the kids their yearly Christmas ornaments and Chippy showed up this morning with these…
He is so thoughtful.
The kids were very excited to read his note and get their new ornaments!
Wizard of Oz
Our Dorothy #2 was great this evening in the “Wizard of Oz.”
She did not have all her lines memorized, but she did very well for a fourth grader! There were actually six Dorothys and Laura was Dorothy #2. The play was very cute and the kids did a great job. Of course, our Dorothy was the best! We are done with Drama Club for this year, but Laura is already looking forward to next year.
Present Wrapping!
Our Elf on the Shelf, Chippy, has been at it again. Sometime overnight, he wrapped presents for me. Love that Elf!
Ridgeway Choir Winter Concert
We attended the Ridgeway Elementary Winter Choir Concert this evening to watch John perform.
The Ridgeway Choir has been “on tour” as they had already performed three other times. They sang for the Optimist Club, the residents of Oak Towers, and for the students and staff at Ridgeway. John was very excited to finally get to perform for us. The theme was “Snowtastic” and you could definitely tell which songs John liked best. It was fun watching the kids perform and John did a great job despite being tired. Way to go kiddo!
The Empire Strikes Back
As part of the Extended Educational Experience (EEE) program, Laura gets invited to different activities. Tonight’s activity was for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders and their families. We got to watch “The Empire Strikes Back.” While watching the movie, Andy and I joked about how advanced we thought the movie was when it first came out. It got us all looking forward to the new Star Wars movie that comes out this week!
