Whew! We are finished with first grade for 2010! We had a pretty easy going week easing into Christmas break.

Reading: Senior finished...


and has started on...
Writing: I had to make sure that he wrote his letter to Santa and addressed the envelope.

Dear Santa, Daddy was going to write this but I am. Daddy said your elves didn't put our train table together right. Did I tell you that I actually live in Georgia? I want Legos for Christmas.

Family fun and Tot-School this week....

We made gingerbread cookies.


Then while eating the cookies, Gator-Tot decorated his Christmas tree with alphabet lights.

Then we counted presents to put under the tree.

We made cinnamon gingerbread ornaments.



Gator-Tot colored a Gingerbread coloring book.

We spent a day focusing on the real meaning of the Candy Cane. They colored a Candy Cane coloring sheet from COAH.

Then we made Candy Cane cookies. I love G-Tot's face in this picture.



We had a great time looking at local Christmas light displays. Gator-Tot was just in awe! From the back of the van we could hear, "noman, cracker (nutcracker), and baby Jesus!!". This is such a precious year!

Our little Freshman got his first haircut today! This just makes me sad- he looks so grown up now :-( But of course he is just precious! I still can't believe that he will be a year old next week!

G-Tot wanted to show off his hair cut too ;-)

Next week we will just have fun focusing on Jesus and the Nativity.
