Merry, Merry Christmas from the Thomas' and a Happy Happy New Year!

We will be traveling to Iowa and playing in the snow for Christmas.
When we return, we will be celebrating Connor's 1st birthday...my, oh, my how time flies!!!
I hope everyone has safe travels and enjoys spending time with friends and family and remembering what Christmas is all about! :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you first graders at Blount! We collected 69 pajamas!!!

Our Polar Express party was a hit! The children enjoyed the movie while munching away on homemade sugar cookies and sipped on chocolate milk through a candy cane straw!!!

What a busy week in Room 121....until next year!!!
