Christmas Parties at School

John-William and Jackson both had parties at school before they got out for the holidays. Michael and I were able to attend both parties, though John-William didn't make it to his own party. He was sick with the flu and missed all 3 days of school last week. We made goodie bags to take to their classmates, though, so Michael and I delivered those and brought home John-William's goodies from his party. Jackson's class was very excited -- imagine 20 kindergarteners who had a visit and gift from Santa that morning followed by fruit, cinnamon rolls, cookies, candy and other party goodies. John-William's party had a lot of the same foods, but it was much more calm. After all, they're second graders now and much more mature (ha!). Each party was nice, though, and we had a good time even though John-William wasn't there.
