The 7th JOY of Christmas...A Cupcake of a Party

I can't believe I volunteered to bake anything let alone share it at our Ward Christmas Party, but share I did. JOY was seeing others en JOY something I made.

Christmas celebrations throughout the Christmas Season, bring us together with family, loved ones, associates...and humanity is often SWEETER at this time of year.

Copy Me

Noah likes to play this game called "Copy Me," where I copy everything he says. Today, "Copy Me" took on a whole new meaning. I was working on the computer and he was copying his drawings on the printer. I overheard him say, "I am going to copy my face..." I didn't think he would really do it. I enJOYed the creativity of Noah AND worried about his eyesight!

Parade and Party

Free picture collage created with Smilebox

It just so happened that I was off on the very day Noah was to have his Halloween Parade and classroom party. JOY was being there for Noah. He asked if I would come and I was able to answer with enthusiasm "Absolutely!" One of the favorite activities was the pumpkin face painting. I so enJOYed the creativity of each and every one. Then Noah was off to the neighborhood party...

Reflections: Diversity Means...

JOY was appreciating Noah's photographs depicting 2011-2012 Reflections Theme, "Diversity Means..." Not an easy theme for a young child to understand let alone capture in a work of art. Here are the few ideas Noah decided upon...now we just need to select the one he enters.

*The books: Diversity means adventure, knowledge, imagination, discovery and choice.

*The photo of Noah: Diversity means being able to see the variety of colors the world has to offer.

*The collage: Diversity means delicious, sweet, adventure, knowledge, imagination, creativity, discovery, choice, and the ability to see the variety of colors the world has to offer.
