My Star Student

I was FINALLY allowed in my son's classroom -

- for his Christmas Party.
And FINALLY my background check came through so I can be an approved volunteer at the school. Can't wait to be a part of the classroom more often.


The only reason I am able to handle him being gone from me all day is that he truly loves his teacher. Thank goodness for good teachers!

~ And thank goodness for a two week long Christmas break!
Let the FUN begin! ~

Parties

Adam's been wanting to do this since before we got married...
A CRAWFISH BOIL!

Finally, he got his chance. He had to work on his birthday, but some co-workers were able to come over and those barbarians stuffed themselves to the brim! Adam's already planning his next crawfish get-together.

Personally, I prefer crab. ;)

We threw together a pirate birthday party this week for Caden and it was so much fun. I was practically in tears when I had to put FIVE candles on his cake this year!

Caden didn't want to turn FIVE either. He told me he just wants to live with me forever and never grow up. So we made a big celebration out of it to keep our spirits up about this whole turning FIVE business.

FIVE little friends made it to the party. They had FIVE activities: played with balloons, got pirate tattoos, went on a treasure hunt, hit a very stubborn pinata, and finished with cake. Let's hope next year doesn't zoom by as fast as this year did!
