Pre-K Christmas Party

Yesterday was Nolan's Christmas party at school. Our whole family made it to the party, and I'm so thankful I had Matt's help this time. Miss Aimee took Nicholas immediately, and then when she was finished holding him, another mother held him and kept him for the entire party....so it was nice to have free hands!

The kids were all great. Nathan was excited about all the treats there. I had to keep a close eye on him because he was grabbing at other kids' plates and drinks, but I think I kept him from snatching anyone else's stuff. Natalie was a little disappointed that she didn't get to participate in the songs they sang, but she didn't throw a fit about it....she just had a pouty look on her face. She was as good as gold at the table for refreshments, and even told me that they shouldn't have the TV on because everyone was eating (that's one of our house rules).

I got to meet Nolan's girlfriend at this party. He has told me about her, and she frequently puts drawings in his backpack, but I had never really seen her before. I was surprised when she came right up to me as soon as we walked in the class. She said, "Hey Nolan's mom." I said hi to her as well. She then proceeded to tell me that Nolan was really cute. I just laughed and thought back to my elementary school days when I always had my little "boyfriends" She was about twice Nolan's size.....she towered over him....it reminded me of the movie Sixteen Candles with the foreign exchange student and his girlfriend. But it was really cute to see how much she liked Nolan. Another mother told Matt that her daughter came home from school one day and said, "I got my first kiss today." When her mother asked from whom....she replied, "Nolan." We asked Nolan if he had kissed any of the girls in his class, but he denies it....so it's hard to tell what's the truth, unless we ever get to ask Miss Aimee.

Here are a few pics from the party.

Nolan and Emily (his girlfriend). Some other kid took this picture...Nolan thought it was a good idea to share my camera with his classmates.

Natalie took a moment to smile for the camera.

Nathan was loving all the food. I didn't give him a snowman cupcake at first. But he starting pointing to them, and saying "snowman" so I had to give in.
