School Christmas Parties

Kyle took the day off today so that I could help with Ethan and Tyra’s class Christmas Parties. I went to Tyra’s at about 11, and helped with passing out items for their crafts that they were working on, and I helped the kids with their projects when they asked for help. Then as all the kids were waiting in line to have some arms hot glued onto a snowman ornament that they were making, Santa came for a visit. The kids just stared at the door in unbelief. 🙂 They were so excited, and Santa read them a story, and he called out Christmas bingo. Then before leaving Santa passed out treat bags.

Then later Kyle went to the school to help out with Ethan’s class party. He did a better job of taking pictures than I did. 😛

Ethan got to make a graham cracker house at his party, and he was REALLY happy that Daddy went to help his class.

WHY?

Why did this boy feel the need to wrap his arm in duct tape????

I love that look of frustration on his face, suggesting that wrapping his arm in duct tape isn’t going the way he was expecting it to.

Santa

We had a ward Christmas party tonight and Santa there to visit with the kids. Dinah was SO excited to get to see Santa, until she saw him:

Ya, I wasn’t in the room when they got up to Santa, I was circling the building looking for Tyra, but as I came back past the doorway on my search I heard Dinah screaming and she ran out the door crying and I caught her.

Ethan looks totally bored:

Jeremy looks like he was sliding off Santa’s lap in an attempt to be silly.

And I have NO idea how Kyle got a picture of Tyra with Santa since she was not in line with us, and I was busy circling the building looking for her. And Kyle even came out to see if I had found her so how this picture came to be taken is a mystery:

Classic Skating

The Blue Host Christmas party last year was ice skating at an ice rink, this year it’s roller skating! I haven’t roller skated in YEARS. But it was a lot of fun. 🙂 Everyone tried rollerskating (except for Kyle). Dinah got these cute adjustable skates that go on over her regular shoes, and she did pretty good skating on the carpet. Then I took her out on the rink, and it was harder. I had to hold her up and help her balance all the way around the rink and we did that several times. Ethan tried skating, and while I was going around with Dinah I looked back to see how he was doing and it was the funniest sight. He was scooting around in his skates on him bottom, needless to say him bum was quite dirty. 😛 Then he gave up the skates and asked for a scooter.

Tyra and Jeremy wore skates all night, but Jeremy never came onto the rink at all, and Tyra I think was on the rink briefly. They basically skated around the rink on the carpet since it was easier.

I’m kind of bummed that there aren’t many pictures of the night, you’d think that since Kyle had no intentions of skating that he would have at least made sure to get some good pictures. Oh well, at least there were some. 🙂

Chloe Rolled Over!

YAY! Chloe rolled over today. She’s been almost rolling over for awhile now, but today she figured out how to get her arm out of the way and actually go all the way over.

Isn’t it funny how babies always roll over, then they get mad because they don’t like being on their tummy, and can’t figure out how to get back over. So you flip them back onto their back, and they roll over to their tummy again, and get mad all over again……I think that’s funny. 🙂
