Christmas Class Parties at ETE

Today Benson and I got to join the kids at school for their class Christmas parties.
This is always a bit of a juggling act as we attempt to go to three parties in an hour's time. But it worked out well and we had a great time watching the kids play and interact with their friends. 

Tucker's party was our first stop and we got to play some different games with him.
Tucker was awesome at building  Christmas trees out of solo cups. 

Benson didn't really help but he really loved the finished product and was cheering for Tuck at the end. 

He's such a cute little kindy bud. 

Then it was onto Bailey's class party. We arrived at the end of snack time. This girl was so happy to see us come in the door. I think she always worries when we arrive late from Tucker's class. But she loved having us there. We stayed through snack time and one game and then we had to head to Tanner's class. 

I love Benson's love for Tanner. It's pretty cute.
We arrived in time to watch Tanner finish his snack and then work on a Christmas card for the kids at the Children's shelter. I love that their class party centered around serving others. They did a gift card and headphone drive for the kids at the shelter and then everyone made them a Christmas card. So sweet!

It was fun to get to see all the kids enjoying themselves. Then I got to check all the kids out a little early- which they always love. And I always love not having to wait in the car rider line. 

After their class parties we drove over to Bass Pro to see Santa. 

While we waited, the kids played some checkers. 

Then we got to go visit with Santa. 

Benson loved Santa during this interaction and happily went to sit on his lap. 

Tucker asked Santa for an art set. 

While Bailey asked for books, toys, movies and tons of other stuff. (That girl always has a list)
While Tanner again asked for Star Wars legos. 

It was a great visit with the big guy and the kids are feeling a little better about their Christmas wishes. Tomorrow is the last day of school for the year and we are so excited.
Stay tuned for more Christmas fun.
