ELVES AT WORK!!!!!!!!

The weeks before Christmas were full of excitement as we became busy little elves making gifts for our parents. The stories we read reminded us that Christmas is Jesus' birthday, a time for sharing and giving. I hope that all our families had a wonderful holiday vacation and we look forward to seeing you in the new year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Jesus. We each had a marshmallow cake with a candle on top.
