Polar Express anyone?

Jake's last day of school on Friday was soooo cute! They planned a party following the Polar Express movie (for those of you who haven't seen the movie - it's about a little boy who doesn't believe in Christmas or Santa anymore and he jumps on a magical train that takes him to the north pole).......they had the hallways decorated like a train - with train tracks down the middle of the floor and polar express signs everywhere - and snow flakes falling from the ceiling. In the classroom - they had the chairs lined up like they were on a train!! Too cute. They also got to wear their PJ's to school that day because in the movie - the little boy is asleep when he is captured away on the magical train - so he is in his pj's the whole movie. Jake had a blast!!!

They got to decorate a cookie with icing and M&M's and then of course, eat it!! (jake's favorite part)


They also played games - like running across the classroom with a bag of presents that they had to empty, restuff the bag with the presents and run back to their classmate and switch off! The other game was "snow blower" and it was where you took an empty toilet paper roll (which they decorated with stickers) and then they had to lay on the floor and blow a cotton ball (snow) across the finish line...........so cute!!!!! Of course, with the noise and excitement - Jake was way over stimulated and just stood on the side lines and cheered - he would have NO part of the games - but I've learned not to push him - just to let him be - but he still had fun!!!

Hope everyone has a blessed Christmas week.
