Palmer's 2nd grade class had the wonderful experience of Christmas caroling to some of the homes around the school.
They asked for donations from the families of the class members for fruit, candy, baskets, and other holiday items and would each house with a basket brimming with Christmas cheer. The students had practiced lots of great songs (and luckily I knew a few of them so I could sing along) and sang their hearts out at every door.
The favorite thing to do was to pull the wagons laden with goodies.
Palmer's buddy and he were pretty wild in the snow. They did snow angels, snowball fights etc and then were totally surprised when they were wet :) They had fun though.
The group with the parent volunteers and their wonderful teacher...except me :)
Our little procession that went around the neighborhoods.
This was my favorite house. After the kids had sung their song, he told them to hold on and he ran and got his french horn. He started playing and the kids gleefully sang along to the songs they knew. Their faces all had huge smiles on them and I think it will be a very memorable moment for most of them.
Palmer got a turn to give the basket to the home they were caroling at.
And a chance to wear the special light up hat (that was the thrill of the day).
I always am so grateful when I can go on these field trips. I am lucky to have a wonderful friend and a wonderful sister that are so good to help me out.
Palmer was excited to show me his name on the list of those who had read 100 books.
He's pretty proud of it. It was a wonderful day and a wonderful memory for both Palmer and me.
