One of a Kind Treasures: Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

As this year comes to an end, I just want to thank all of you once again for allowing me the privilege of caring for your children. I feel blessed to have each of you in my life! I look forward to many fun adventures and learning experiences with your children throughout the new year!

Alex is ready for a party adventure.

Parker loves to learn and explore.

Here are some holiday pictures of the children and a few from our Christmas party from last week.

We had our Christmas party here last Tuesday since most of the children just happened to be coming that day. Jackson, Owen, Alex, Rocco (and Andrew) were all here that day. For our craft, we made Christmas stockings where we looked through the Christmas toy catalogs and cut out our favorite toys to paste to our stockings. It was a big hit ! They loved looking through the catalogs and finding all kinds of toys to add to their stockings.

Another fun activity we had was decorating our cookies with frosting and Christmas sprinkles.

Jackson enjoys his decorated cookie.

Rocco frosts his cookie.

Yummy!

Alex sprinkles red and green sugar on his cookie.

We also had a small party gift to open during our party. The boys were so excited to open their gifts!

Ready, set...

Open your gifts!

This week we talked about New Year's. I asked the children what happens on New Year's. Alex proudly shouted out, "Everything goes on sale!" I laughed so hard! Kids sure do say the cutest things!

The weather was warm yesterday so we headed outside for some outdoor fun. With the record breaking amounts of snow we received for the month, the snow piles were a lot of fun for the kids to climb! It's hard to believe that they are standing next to the basketball net!
