We had a blast last week at our Mid-Year Party! Sorry it's taken so long to upload pics, but I've been enjoying the time off!

Check out some of the great pajamas we had at our SCHOOL WIDE pajama party (thanks to our president, Isabel!)





In the morning last Wednesday, we enjoyed hot chocolate and watched my very favorite holiday movie!





In the afternoon we stuffed our faces with a HUGE feast! Thanks so much to all the parents who brought or sent stuff in! This was much better than pizza!







The kids loved the chocolate fountain! I'll be sure to bring that back for another party later in the year!


A lot of parents joined us for our luncheon!

Here are Hunter, his mom, and his two baby brothers!

Lucas with his parents
Kiana and her mom
Petra and her grandmother
Hunter and his grandfather
Finally, my personal favorite part of the day - the gag gift exchange! Everyone got something, whether they wanted it or not!



Jasmine was ecstatic to receive a whole, fat roll of bubble wrap! Can't you tell by her expression?

I hope Quavon enjoyed his can of corn!




Hunter looks really happy to get a box of garbage bags, doesn't he?


Romin got just what he always wanted - a matching heart-shaped necklace and earrings!


But Petra stole them and he got stuck with these reindeer antlers!


Not all the gifts were gag gifts, though! Alyssa got lucky, winning a giant candy cane!


And Chelsy got the best gift of all - a DVD set of the Superman movies!


Now here's where it got fun! Daniel stole the DVD set from Chelsy, forcing Chelsy to pick another gift!


So, she stole the giant candy cane from Alyssa!



But Alyssa wasn't too upset when she picked a new present and ended up with a slinky!


But a few rounds later, Josh quickly snatched the Superman set from Daniel!



Leaving Daniel with the best gift of all - a package of unflavored rice cakes!



Destiny gets a box of Christmas cakes!

Kimberlynn got a Nintendo Wii....

...box, with a set of phone books inside!

Win got a whole bag of onions! Look how excited she is!


Hey look! It's Kiana with Golda and Coal!


Lucas got a porcelain rose with a hummingbird.


But not for long, because Alexis stole it!


Leaving Lucas with dog pick-up bags!


Don't look so glum, Shane! With all that hair, you can use that giant comb!


Jerome got a reading book - now he'll have plenty to read over the break!


Finally, the kids got to check out all the goodies in their stockings!










We had loads of fun at the party! Thanks to everyone who helped out! Have a great holiday and I'll see you all after the break!
