Strong Start Christmas Party

This is year 3 for the boys at strong start.  Hard to believe Alex started going at 6 months and Ryan was just over 2.5.  The boys lve Monica (the teacher) like a family member and I'm pretty sure she enjoys them the same way. 

I love that every year she has her husband dress as Santa and her daughter as Santa's helper....the kids just love it!

Every year we are asked to bring a small present and give it to Monica, then when her husband arrives she quickly takes them all out to him and fills his big red bag.  He comes in and sits with the kids, talks to them and then calls out the names on the gifts and everyone gets a present.  The kids just love it!

After gifts it's snack time....we do a pot luck and everyone or most brings something to contribute.  I usually always make and bring cupcakes but wasn't feeling well so just went with cookies instead.

The yearly parties for holidays are a big hit, super croweded and busy but fun for the kids.
