on the last day of school before (their incredibly long) break
annie had a sweet little program at her preschool.
when the parents arrived all the kids were "sleeping" in front of the cozy fireplace.
they got to wear their pajamas to school and bring a special blankie. 
when they woke up they each picked out a christmas book and found a grown up to read to them.
annie and i read Little Critter's Christmas.
next was snack time.
the preschoolers served us.
i heard ms. kristin telling them "if you slip like fancy nancy…that's OK!"
so cute!
i think i drank 4 cups of water…i didn't want to turn any preschooler down.
i just kept my camera up to my face trying to pretend my child was not the only one being a total spaz.
"if you can see me…do what i do"
"we fish you a harry chris moose"
hahahahahaha
they are best best friends.
shhhhh…don't tell your grown up what your present is.
i got to open it on christmas morning.
i love it.
Ms.Viliya - oh, sweet pretty colorful Annie! how i miss you and Micah! yes, somethings are never changed, you two are best best friend 🙂
lovely pictures, thanks for sharing, Annie’s mom and Ms.Kristin 🙂
kristin - oh, i love all of these. it’s so fun to see this from a different perspective. i linked over from our preschool blog….thank you.
Mrs. - Probably the holidays have made me feel sentimental, that and the fact that the 12 year old at our house was petulant this year that Santa “forgot” to bring the much-admired cell phone, but I actually teared up reading this post, and wished heartily for a few of those crazy needing-constant-attention pre-schoolers I used to have.
gina - What a fun place that preschool looks like! i love how they draped the ceiling!
linda@LimeintheCoconut - It is all just as cozy as Hot Chocolate with marshmallows…and colorful!!! Oooooh I love all the fun and vibrant color. You know…they say we learn best with color!!
Cute post!
Cori - I love the photo ornament. Those are the ones I treasure most on my tree too.
Vicki - What Christmas love!!! I have one hanging on my tree too, it’s heart shaped with my wiggly worm’s face peeking out…a treasure to be sure!
Melissa - cute, I love the Christmas tree in the classroom.
alice - 🙂
Melanie - I really have a lot of respect for teachers of kids that age. How cute the classroom looked, as did the kids. I love all the handmade gifts that Caden made for me when he was smaller. I know you love the one from Annie.
Hope you have a great week.
Cate O'Malley - Love all the bright colors in preschool – you can’t help but be happy there.
Leah - Meg…just wanted you to know that I really love what your blog has grown to be. I feel like a wierdo typing that…but really I mean it. I’ve been reading for over two years now and I just clicked to your actual site (from Google Reader) and just really was blessed by what it has become. It’s always been great…but I think it just keeps getting better. Hope that makes sense and blesses you!
Dianne Avery - I love the picture with the boys head in her lap. So sweet!!
Flower Patch Farmgirl - I LOVE it that they are best, best friends. I hope it always stays that way.
Kirsten - Cutest! I have a similar little photo frame…from about 15 years ago…it’s a treasure 🙂
jeanne - So, so cute!!! I love that her best friend has his head on her lap. I am glad that I have my camera lots of time to hide from the things my children are doing.
sara's art house - Oh my word! So cute! Wish I could go to preschool!
Julie - Are those peppernuts I see? I used your rainbow cake for a birthday cake for Jesus this year! Here’s where I blogged about it… http://homewifemama.blogspot.com/2009/12/happy-birthday-jesus.html
immyyas - How fun was that!!! No worries every mom thinks their kid is the only one that is a spaz…really they all are! 🙂
LOVE your little ones jammie choice – looks like something my 4 year old would put together! LOVE the teachers jammies – I’d like to get me some of those! Ohhh & your “present” was awesome too!
meaghan - this is seriously the cutest preschool ever. my sons was too academic, so i pulled him 😉 he thought xmas break was the end of the year (teehee)!
Ashley Ann - I do believe that is the BEST preschool ever! EVER!
Georgia - Ohhhh i wish i was in preschool again! although mine was never that fun…. Looked very relaxed and fun.
By the way you have inspired me to start a blog, based around my 2 dogs…. (seeing as i dont have children … they are my next best interesting thing to blog about) –

Diana - That was THE best Christmas entertainment in a long time! Aren’t they just so CUTE! LOVE the song interpretation, LOL! Those young’uns are everything ADORABLE!
Priscilla - I LOVE Ms.Kristens pyjamas!!! What a cute programme she had lined up for her students and parents – she is obviously a real treasure.
susie whyte - that is the cutest fireplace set up. so sweet. i had a lot of red-faced parents that would try to play the “who’s kid is that?” game. ha ha. there’s some kid rule that says “i must act as crazy as possible when my parent comes to my class”, cause that’s how it always happens. there’s a zillion parents out there that know what you’re talking about. maybe you should have them hire you as the class photographer. i use to have parents complain about missing out so much on what their child was doing at school and then have their child tell them they just “played” at school. i think there would be some highly thrilled parents.
Sheryl - I just love Ms. Kristen. I read her Preschool Daze blog all the time. As a fellow preschool teacher, the break is much needed so we can start fresh in January.As a mom, I know how you feel, too! 😉
Tegan and Tage - Oh my gosh those little cuties are ADORABLE.
Jennifer - ahahha! If you are a teacher, it’s a very short break. I am absolutely eating up being at home with my children during holiday break. Such a cute Annie ornament!!
Traci - so sweet. i miss those days.
Heather Giustino - What a fun celebration, and I love the ornament!!
{Leila and I have the same pj’s as the teacher!}
Sandy - i love the picture of annie’s best best friend laying on her lap. so sweet.
