A few celebrations

The preschoolers had their Christmas program last Monday and wrapped up their school Christmas parties on Wednesday. I didn't get to go to any of their parties, and William let me know that I was the only mommy that wasn't there. I seriously doubt that, but it made me cry anyway!

Here's Vivian with her giant lollipop and giant smile! She came home with a huge bag of "loot" from her party! How much can a 2-year-old ingest?? By the time I made this picture, she had already devoured an entire full-sized candy cane and a white chocolate snowman. (This monstrosity of a lollipop went in the trash when she wasn't looking.)

Happy Birthday, Daddy! With help from my mom, the kids put their handprints on a T-shirt for Billy. (We did Ellen's footprint instead, since newborns love to fist their little hands! I was afraid he would see the evidence; she still has some orange paint on the cuticle of her pinky toe.)


While Mom watched the other kids, Billy and I both went to Rebecca's class Christmas party on Friday. Here is Rebecca with her kindergarten teacher.
