Emily's Class Christmas Party 12-17-08

On Wednesday afternoon, December 17th, Bailey and I made our way to Palmetto Prep for Emily's class Christmas party. The reason Bailey was with me for the day was she had to be out of school that morning due to a case of pink eye the previous day. Since she had been on the antibiotics more than 24 hours, it was ok for her to come with me to the party. When we arrived, my Dad was already there along with the kids who had just gotten back from art. We came in right as it was time to start serving the goodies, so I took Bailey and Emily through the line and fixed their plates with what they wanted. After they were settled, I helped a few of the other kids with their plates while the kids enjoyed their goodies. As usual, the chips were the big hit followed by the cake. After the kids were done with their goodies, we cleaned up while the kids played. Bailey had the best time playing being a big kid. Once things were cleaned up all the kids gathered around in the circle in order to hear the rules for the game they were getting ready to play. It was similar to musical chairs, but with using plates on the ground and the kids were to dance as they went around in the circle. Bailey had a great time going around and dancing with Emily and really got in to playing the game. They made it almost to the end until the two of them got out. When the game was over and the kids finished their candy canes they got as prizes for playing the game, they all gathered round to listen to a Christmas book. When it was finished and Emily had said her goodbyes, we made our way up to the other building to pick up Ansley.
