Kids Good-Bye parties

On Wednesday and Thursday before the end of the school term we had parties for the kids in each of their classes as a farewell party.  Sofia had hers on Wednesday and shared it with her friend Bella who also left school at the end of term.  We brought in cake, chips, juice etc. and let the kids have fun eating together.  The kids also performed their part of the upcoming school play that they have been practicing so Beanie and I were able to see the part that our kids would have played if we had stayed at school for the last term.  It was nice to see what they had been working on.  Sofia's teacher put a book together for both Sofia and Bella in whch every child in the class made a page for the book.  It was very cute and Sofia loved it.

On Thursday afternoon I headed into Ali's class for her farewell party.  I was, of course, loaded down with all the goodies...cake, treats, chips, popcorn...as well as the plates, napkins and drinks.  Ali was happy to have a party in her honor and her teacher also had the kids in her class make a page each for a book just for Ali.  They also gave her a stuffed animal school bear which she loved.  Also her best friend Cianna's mom also gave her two photographs.  One of the photos is of Ali and Cianna's first sleepover together.  Ali loves the picture and it has traveled with us so she can always see it.

I have pics and video of the parties but I'm not sure if I have them with me or if they are on our computer traveling the ocean.  Therefore, I will have to wait to post them.
