Holiday Fun at the Hive!!

 Christmas Break is officially over  (I mean...is it, really?!?! REALLY? That went by fast.), I need to post some of the fun things that have taken place at "the hive" before we get into even more winter shenanigans!!

The holiday fun-ness started the day before Thanksgiving Break....this is always Pajama Day, and the teachers have a contest to see who can have the best pajamas. The winners get a $50 giftcard to their favorite restaurant. Who do you think won for a second year in a row?? US....we were the scarecrows this year!!!! BAM!!! We don't play when food is involved!!

During Thanksgiving Break, we had many playdates and birthday parties at our friends' houses. Thanks to all my "mommy friends" for sharing some pictures with me!!

After Thanksgiving Break, we had a lot of Christmas fun at school!! Of course, as you may have seen in this post, the kids recently had their Christmas performances at Beulah Baptist Church. Here they are goofing off after the show:

Many days were "dress up days" (my favorite)! We got all festive and merry by dressing up like SNOWMEN:

REINDEER:

WHOVILLE DAY:

ELF DAY (which was also the day of our Santa Dash - a race for charity. We were ready to RUN!)

AND SANTA DAY!!

But amidst all the Christmas fun, we still had to work very hard. Nora made an A+ one of her first science projects:

And both girls simultaneously won the first round of Character Awards for their classes. So proud!!

They also made lovely Christmas masterpieces during Art Camp with Mrs. Fulton!! 

Practicing multiplication with "Holly the Elf:"

But of course, we put all schoolwork aside so we could PARTY with our friends for a while and celebrate our break and each other!!

Hanging our stockings by the "chimney" with care:

Making gingerbread houses:

Nora's gingerbread house didn't last too long once she brought it home:

So, we used the leftover ingredients to make some yummy Christmas trees!! 

Last but not least, we had a "teacher party" over at Mrs. Moore's house. Always a fun time, but this one was unforgettable.....I'm still hurting from laughing so hard. Thankfully, no one took pictures because what happens at the Moore Fun Lounge STAYS at the Moore Fun Lounge. But let's just say, a lot of this happened....literally:

Cheers to the countless Beulah Blessings!!
