Christmas at Zachary's School

Zachary had several very fun Christmas events with his kindergarten class and with his school.  One afternoon his Kindergarten class made Gingerbread houses.  Zachary LOVED this.  It was extra sweet because Grams came to help too.  However I don't have any pictures of her :(

 

 

Here's Zachary's finished house with snowman

Zachary and Spencer (one of Z's best buddies in his class...the share a birthday)

 Working hard decorating!

 Zachary's school hosted a Breakfast with Santa the 2nd Saturday in December.  Will was still under the weather so Kevin stayed home with him.  I loved that I could spend the entire morning with Zach one-on-one.  We ate breakfast with some of his classmates, made 3 crafts, he wrote Santa a letter, and then he saw Santa & Mrs. Claus.  They were FANTASTIC.  Not sure if you notice but the school elf was up in the garland. His name is Fredrick and he arrived Dec 1st to the school.  Some days he was a good elf and other days he was a little naughty. All of the students LOVED him. Fredrick was the hit of the school...especially to the students who did not have an elf at home.  The principal told me she loves when Fredrick arrives because the students are very well behaved :)

 

Mrs. Claus I think thought Zach was a lot older than he is.  She gave him a bell from Santa's Sleigh.  She told him that only give it to one child and he was the special one to get it.  Zachary was super excited.  However as a mom who doesn't want to leave anyone out it sure was odd when Z had a bell and all of his little classmates didn't get one.  Can you say Aqward?  Z still has the bell.  Before we went into breakfast he told me that he knew the Santa that was going to be at his school was just a "helper". Then after they gave him the bell he whispered in my ear that it was for sure the authentic Santa Claus.
