Nick's class party

I went to Nick's 2nd grade class to help with the holiday 'stations' set up for the kids. He has 15 kids in his class (nice size!!) and his teacher is wonderful! He has learned how to write stories, give feedback, graph, do a survey, publish a book, rocks (igneous, metamorphic...), historical persons & their achievements, use quotations in written dialogue; that is off the top of my head. His teacher sends home a weekly sheet with questions we can ask him about each subject to help him tell us and explain what he has learned that day. She is awesome!
Making a giant cotton-ball snowman. Pin the nose on the snowman.
This is goofy of me, but I love hugs from this kid! Notice the troll Santa earrings I have. I LOVE them and they drive Ted crazy. He has a fear/creep-me-out feeling about trolls and gnomes. So I always get them out in early December and set them up in the bathroom by his sink to greet him. :)
Nick frosting his sugar (3 circles=snowman) cookies
Crazy, typical Nickel face...
Even in the crowd of his class, Nick will hug and kiss me. Ahhh, I'm treasuring every moment of it.
