Kale's Christmas party

The pre-k always does their party in the morning so even though I wasn't on the party team I crashed it anyways. It gave me the chance to snap some pix of silly ole Kale and his class signing again. Some level of effort from Kale. At least he's having fun! He's such a goof ball.

Gamer

Who knows why this little weirdo picked this spot for his gaming!

Fayetteville Lights

Our annual trip to Fayetteville to eat pizza, down some beer and view some lights. This year we had a couple of additional couples tag along. Lots of fun. Lucas had a chance to tell Santa about one more item and he also rode a camel. It happened to be a dog so that night which was interesting and delayed the viewing of the reindeer. We packed our carriage ride as full as possible and looped the square a couple of times. Munched on some kettle corn and froze our buns off. As always, a highlight of the holidays!

Santa Baby

Her shirt says it all, "I heart Santa"! Avery was not afraid of Santa at all. Before sitting on his lap and bringing him in on the one gift they wanted most, the B kids were read a story by Santa. Several kids gathered around and Santa read "Twas the Night Before Christmas". It was an awesome experience for the kids. This Santa is awesome and really takes his time to talk to the kids. Best of all, no wait! I remember taking the older two kids to Fayetteville and waiting for ever to whisked on and off of Santa's lap. Never been the cases here. Love it!

Kale's Indian Program

Kale's Pre-K class put on an Native American Indian program (not very PC!) for all the parents. They sang over 20 songs. Kale's Indian name was "Red Fox". It was a must that we called him Red Fox for several days leading up to the big show. Kale's performance, well...he jacked around with his neighbor the whole time. I had hoped he might be my one kid that would just get up on the stage and sing. Not the case. I only had to give him the stink eye a handful of times. The class also took this show on the road to Chick-Fil-A and performed for the lunch time crowd. Not a lot of people there but my co-workers and the cow were there. And yes, Kale jacked around most of the show. Oh well.

Kimono

Lucas' idea of fixing hair

He thinks she looks just perfect and there's no way her bangs are getting in the way now!
