Gracie's Christmas Celebration

Gracie's class had a fun Christmas celebration.  We started off making gingerbread houses together as a family.  The girls worked really well together and had a lot of fun.  Next - the kindergartners gathered around Mrs. Lindsay and a special Happy Birthday Jesus cake {made by yours truly} The whole cake had 3 different colored layers, white icing, a yellow star and red heart border to represent special things.  Mrs. Lindsay read all the meanings to the children and then they each got candles to sing this little light of mine and Happy Birthday.  They loved it.  After some cake it was time for the gift exchange.  They played musical chairs and when they got out they got to get a gift.  Gracie has a big "fear of the unknown" and always chooses her own gift in these situations.  No surprise, but she is always happy!  Ha!  After all the fun she surprised me with a special ornament that she made - It was so cute!  I loved it!  What a fun morning we had together.
