Connor’s teacher chose to have the class party on Friday and I took off the afternoon to help out.  When I arrived at the classroom, Connor came and gave me a hug.  The room parents set up a few stations, ie. for hot cocoa, decorating cookies, and art and crafts tables.  I was assigned to help the kids making ornaments and I was happy with this task.  We helped 5 or 6 kids at a time to decorate the ornaments, and all the kids did a great job.  After all the stations, the kids could also get a balloon sword from one of the parents making them.  By the end of the day, the teacher also put on a video for the kids to watch and that wrapped up the holiday party.

    As a treat, I also loved taking the boys to martial arts on Friday after school.
