Antler Update, Actual Retail Price, School Party

I forgot I took this photo of Luke after he'd calmed down from the candy cane antler trauma on Tuesday. He'd actually been wearing antlers himself and had a red shiny nose when he came out of school. Maybe he was mad I upstaged his surprise.



I think the red shiny nose got rubbed off in all the crying.

And for the record Luke was having a rough morning on Wednesday and was not at all happy about leaving for speech. As we opened the garage door he started crying again about the antlers. Lamar promised he'd remove them when they got to speech. Lamar and I were talking as he backed out of the garage. He put the van window down and the candy cane antler shot off the window.

We recovered it and the car decorations were our white elephant gift at my work Christmas party.








And this is Luke showing me the actual retail price. Or it may have been the money in my case I was taking home "to spend on whatever you want".



Thursday was Polar Express Day at school. I'd explain, but I think every preschool in America has Polar Express Day. Luke insisted on sporting the Superman pajamas.

We decorated cookies. I wanted the kids to be able to paint cookies and finally got the icing consistency just right on my last batch. I probably should have made a practice batch before party day. But they are just preschoolers.





There's my first icing ever displayed on the plate to left. And there's Luke too.

Luke scores his book in the gift exchange.

The kids performed their Christmas songs. I learned some new verses to We Wish You a Merry Christmas. In this verse they are doing a little jumping to spread Christmas cheer. It is not surprising that Luke and his buddy Andrew were the first out of their seats for the jump fest.

Merry Christmas to all!
