Today the girls had their classroom christmas parties. Sadly, this is the first year that I did not attend Sam's party. This year she is in Middle School and they don't have a classroom party and gift exchange, (they're too big for that apparently) so they take snacks and hang out in the gym with their friends. They were also allowed to take electronics with them so Sam took her ipod touch with her.
Alex's class opted not to have a gift exchange due to the failing economy and recent shutdown of a local factory that took a lot of local jobs. I took in treats for her to pass out. I also bought a little gift for each kid in her class and played a game with them. It just wouldn't be a Christmas party if the kids didn't get a gift to open!
The kids passed gifts around to Christmas music and when the music stopped, whoever held the gift got to unwrap it and keep it.
