The room mom's at Maxwell's school are responsible for putting on the 3 class parties each year (winter, valentine's day, and end of year). The entire grade does the exact same thing in each classroom so you end up having a bunch of room moms to help put the party together. The other co-room mom in Maxwell's class also has another daughter at the school so she asked if I would be okay if after about 20 minutes she left and went to the other classroom. I figured that the teacher would also be in there so it would be fine. EXCEPT something happened (I never heard what) and Maxwell's teacher wasn't in the classroom at all the whole party until the very end. So it was just me. There were other parents in there but they just stood around and watched (so annoying).
So, I did my best to pretty much run this party on my own and wrangle these 20 kindergartners. It was a little hectic at times but at the end of the day, I think all the kids had fun and that's all that matters.
The party had to be winter themed. NOTHING could be tied to Christmas due to school rules.

For the craft they decorated a paper hat and then put snowballs on it

Maxwell and his girlfriend, Brooklyn. These two LOVE each other. They crack me up (she's so tall!) He calls her Brookie and she calls him Maxie. He tells me that at recess they just run around giving each other hugs. This relationship has definitely been spurred on by Brooklyn. GIRLS!!!!
Oh look - Christmas presents are arriving. I love being able to shop online from your couch!
