In the hustle and bustle of our exciting Christmas party we forgot to take pictures! We really had a lot of fun this year. We missed Eden, but hopefully she will enjoy the little gifts she will be receiving from us! The remaining kids had a blast playing Christmas games and making a special gift for Moms and Dads and I think the most favorite of all was the making of gingerbread houses! What fun!
We had a great first Field Trip to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm. We started out with the train ride, then hit the hay (literally) on the hay ride to find our pumpkins, and then drank yummy apple cider for our snack! So much fun! Thanks to all who came and participated and a special thanks for Teacher Dawn letting Superstar Kids Preschool tag-a-long as usual!!
We are so excited to be back in school! We played lots of get to know you games and started to talk about the letters that are in our names this week. We're getting used our preschool activities and loving every minute of it! Thanks for a great first week Madison, Tyler and Wesley!
It was a bittersweet day with our preschoolers today. We can't believe how fast this past year went. We really had a lot of fun with these sweet boys. We learned just as much from them as they did from us. We can't wait to see what this next year has in store for us...maybe a girl or two this time. By the way, we are looking for more students. Let your friends and neighbors know. We also have business cards to make it easier to let people know about us. We hope you enjoy this little video of our Graduation Ceremony. :) And thanks for a great first year!
We had a lot of fun at the Lincoln Fire Station. Captain Mike gave us a tour of the whole station and at the end the kids each had a turn at the hose. It was a fun trip with the Happy Kids Preschool along side us. Thanks teacher Dawn for putting this together and for the yummy treats! Also, a big thank you for Captain Mike and all his officers! They were wonderful!

We had a fun time wearing our pajamas at school. We learned about the differences between night and day. The kids favorite time was when we shut out the lights and used a flashlight to make shadow puppets! The pancakes were a big hit, too!!
