I've got JOY...

Down in my heart...
Deep, deep down in my heart!

I tell you what...when my angel babies are happy
and flourishing, I am filled with J-O-Y!!!

All week Hadlee has been celebrating Christmas
at Mrs. Heather's with the sweetest bunch of kiddos...
This is how my child looks while at Mrs. Heather's...
Pure J.O.Y.I love the sweet little friendship between
Lucy & Hadlee...
The official party was yesterday.
Here is the sweet gang:
Landry, Riley, Haddie, Lucy, Cami
They traded gifts...
Haddie Pattie Pie's Gingerbread House
she made during the party...
And of course Mrs. Heather had the most
adorable keepsakes for us!!!
(Hadlee has brought home LOTS of cute stuff
all week and you'll be seeing glimpses of those soon!)
How ADORABLE is this?!?
When I count my blessings,
(which I've been doing A LOT of lately) this little
Elf and Mrs. Heather are at the TOP of the list!).
Then TODAY I was in Room Mommy Mode
for Walker's Kindergarten Holiday Party!!!
It was a Gingerbread theme...
each table had lots 'o goodies for the students
to use to decorate their houses.I kept noticing Walker doing A LOT of this...Some of the students were so creative
and made the cutest houses!
Walker, well, not so much...
he ate more than he decorated!!!
The kiddos ate goodies, played Christmas
Bingo, and decorated gift sacks for their parents' gift
(an ornament from the PTA with their picture in it).
This class is so super sweet...
You know how I count my blessings A LOT?!?
Well, this pretty lady is right up at the top, too!!!
I could not of hand picked a better teacher
in all of this world...

I had to hook Mrs. Hentschel up (and Mrs. Heather, too, ~ I'll try to get her pic in the shirt, too!) with these adorable Gingerbread shirts from Target.

A theme is a theme, people!!!Finally, this little Gingerbread Guy makes the tip
top of my best blessings list, too...ALWAYS!
J.O.Y. Deep Deep Down in my Heart!!!

Gotta love those gingerbread shirts - now, that was CUTE with the gingerbread houses!! And that little elf ornament was about the cutest thing I have ever seen - precious!! We had our class party this afternoon too - that is more exhausting than being at work all day!!!

You bring back many memories for me! The times I was a homeroom mom for my boys' classrooms, the gingerbread houses, the handmade ornaments...good times. :o)

Your kiddos are cuties, as always!

Merry Christmas!

So many adorable things in this post. That first pic of all of Hadlee's friends. How did she get them to stay posed like that...awesome! I LOVE the elf picture and the gingerbread houses are precious! I can honestly say I have never, ever made one of those...too overwhelming! But those looked fun and not so hard:) Thanks for brightening my day.
