Daycare Christmas Party

Last Saturday was the Christmas party at Anthony's daycare. I was really impressed, Kathleen went all-out. It was a huge crowd, including some of her former kids and a former assistant and her family. The top picture is Anthony with Maria, his favorite teacher.

Kathleen's son played guitar and the kids gathered to sing Christmas songs. After they all sang "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", who showed up but Santa Claus (the father of her former assistant) with gifts for everyone! Anthony toddled through the crowd right up to Santa to check him out. He even sat willingly on Santa's lap. (Several of the 1-3 year olds were not so willing.)

They also had a gift exchange amongst the kids. Anthony got a Elmo/Cookie monster giggle ball from his girlfriend Courtney. Santa Claus gave him a pop-up toy.

He doesn't really seem to understand presents, but is starting to enjoy unwrapping them!
