We all had a big surprise as the Big Man in red himself knocked on our door Christmas Eve night! After the disbelief and shock dissipated Grant had some questions for our special guest, like where are the reindeer?!

Every class decorates one of their parent’s cars with a theme and the cars are judged and winners are chosen. Kim volunteered her car and it was decorated as a pig. Sadly it didn’t win but the snacks and music made up for it!
