1st grade Christmas

After we were done with Ethans celebration (in the blog below) he and I headed to Danissa's class for a surprise baby shower for her teacher, Mrs.Rose, since she will not be coming back this school year. Her baby is due just a few weeks after school starts up again from Christmas Break. So we held a mini-roast her her honor. The kids, weeks before, had decorated quilt squares and they were sewn together to make a baby blanket for her new arrival. The kids stood up and read bible verses to her honoring her and her baby and the kids made a book, each decorating their own page, with a "gift" that they would like to have given the baby...Danissa drew a teddy bear. It's just a free simple way that the kids all celebrate everyones' birthday in the class.
After the mini-baby shower, the kids had early dismissal and Danissa, Ethan, Breanna and I all headed to the all school ice skating party at the new Town Toyota Events Center. It was so much fun. The kids skated independently, which saved me from being bogged down by dragging kids!!! We had a blast, but I didn't take my camera in so I wouldn't have to worry about it.... (on more reason that I am wishing for just a small flat pocket camera for just candid family moments... instead of my moms nice, big camera)!
Surprise Mrs. Rose!!!!...
