Christmas Party 2013

Had a great time visiting with Santa today!  He told all the kids they were all on the NICE list!!  This made them so excited.  And the gifts they got were awesome!!  We talked about the true meaning of Christmas as well and Gracie knew that Baby Jesus was born on Christmas Day!  The kids were so adorable today.  Brenda, Sid and I want to thank all of you parents for the wonderful gifts today.  It is a wonderful feeling to be appreciated and we feel this way today.  From the our house to yours, we wish you and your families a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  Remember Circle Time is to resume Tuesday, Jan. 7th.  See you then!!
