Fletcher, you and Eliza were so excited for your ride on the Polar Express! You got to wear your jammies to school.
We are so blessed to have a kindergarten teacher who makes learning a wonderful adventure. This is what Mrs. Stensland said about your Polar Express trip on her website:
All aboard the Polar Express! But wait. . .do we have our golden tickets? Ah, yes, magically they appear!
Tickets please--tickets! Let's get your tickets punched!
First stop--elf games! How do the elves relax after a hard day's work? They play games of course! Santa Bingo! Pin the nose on Frosty! Snow ball bowling! Thanks to our room parents and parent helpers for a great party!
The tracks were so slippery and we had to lean to each side to stay on the tracks! We loved imagining that we were riding the train--and the music from the movie provided a great feel for the day! Next stop--coming up!
Ahhhhh. . .hot chocolate. . .yeah. . .hot chocolate!
The call from the office came--a special delivery! Mrs. Harrington tells us that someone all dressed in green and wearing curly shoes delivered a box for us! It was FREEZING cold--could it have come from the North Pole????
We open the frozen package and have a letter from Santa! He reminded us that there is no better gift than the gift of friendship, and gave us each a bell to remember that by! What a great day!
Mallory arrived home from her semester in Ireland last night. You had fun with Mallory and talked about her all the way home.
Fletcher, you and Simon are very interested in transporting the wrapped presents from my room to the living room. Somehow I think there is an ulterior motive. I don't think you will be able to guess what is in those packages this year :).
You got your annual ornaments from Mommy and Daddy this evening. A peace sign for Lily the groovy girl and robots for the boys. You sure are going to have a lot of ornaments when you leave home, but they are mine for now.
Millie came to stay with you and Calvin on Friday the 17th while Daddy was at Aunt Ruth's memorial service. She brought you flashing Rudolph noses. They were the hit of the day. You like to wear the Rudolph nose and your Santa hat. Sometimes you put two Rudolph noses over your eyes. You are Millie's special boy. There will be many more Millie Christmas memories to come.
