Merry Christmas from the Tree House Gang!

Princess loves to paint....I loved the lines she was making...she ended up making "pinecones"

One of the "works" we had out this week was cutting cedar branches...both a practical life and sensorial activity.....it smelled so good!

We decorated gift bags for our parent's Christmas gifts.

Waiting for our Moms and Dads to arrive for the party!

Our Christmas Party.....

We never watch TV at preschool...but Santa had sent us a special video message, just for us!

Getting ready to see our special message.....looks like everyone was captivated by the Christmas tree.

Some of our wonderful moms.

To all my children and their families....A Very Merry Christmas, be safe, be joyful and make lots of precious memories. To my children, I love you and I already miss you, just knowing I won't see you for almost two weeks. I hope Santa is good to all of you....you deserve all the goodness of Christmas! Be blessed and I will be seeing you soon. Love, Mama Sharon
