Scholarly fun

Andrew had his first Chuck E Cheese party for our neighbor gal & she invited the entire Kindergarten class! I was able to go with him & leave the littles with Darren. We had a pretty fun time just being together. We also took maybe the best picture ever of us together there... in the photo booth. I just might have to draw that one so that I can hang it up on non-Chuck E Cheese paper. ;)
A few days later we attended his first BIG Christmas program. Their class sang a song right at the beginning & then joined all K-5 at the end for a few more.

My favorite song was, "It's all about Jesus". I was pleasantly surprised that the whole program was only half an hour long! Thank you, Ellen!

Rebecca & I joined him for his class party on the last day of school. Since one of his classmates was sick, Rebecca was able to join in ALL the fun. Here they are making nativity ornaments. Super cute!

We played a hot potato-esque game where you passed a huge present around the circle with music playing. When the music stopped, whoever was holding it got to open the present. Lo & behold, they found another wrapped box inside! We did that 7 times & then found a box full of ring pops for all to share in the middle. Totally fun & hilarious to watch their surprised expressions!

They also decorated & ate their own cookies for snack. Heavy on the sprinkles. ;)

It was only an hour, low-key, & a lot of fun. It was also VERY eye-opening! I've gotten to know a lot of his classmates a little bit from different activities & walking to school but never in any sort of structured environment. Now I think it will be a little easier to relate to all the scholarly stories Andrew shares with me. What a blessing!
