The Jones Girls

We had our La Habra Moms Children’s Christmas party at Oeste Park.    We were a bit worried that the weather would be unpredictable, but we lucked out and it was 70 degrees – a beautiful day!!

Valentina’s husband, Morris, was Santa Claus.  He made the PERECT Santa.    All of us moms brought wrapped presents for our kids.   I brought the girls Mickey Mouse back pack purses for their present from Santa.   Inside the back pack was playing cards.     Each child got to sit on Santa’s lap and receive their present and tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas.  We got some great pictures of the kids with Santa!

We also had pizza, I brought rice crispy treats and Angie brought the most delicious 7 layer dip.     I also brought candy canes with an attached story about the candy cane.  It read:

Many years ago a candy maker
wanted to make a candy that would
symbolize the true meaning of
Christmas-Jesus.   

The hard candy was shaped like a “J”
to represent that Jesus 
is our rock of all ages.  

The candy was made of white
to stand for the pureness of Jesus. 
The red stripe represents the blood
that Jesus shed to save us from our sins.

So the next time you see a candy cane
take a minute to remember
the real meaning of Christmas.

Today the triplets and I wanted to get a preview of their preschool @ La Habra Hills Preschool.   They invited us to join their Christmas party today.   

I dressed the girls in Grandma’s (my mom) Christmas dresses and added cute velvet black pants.  It was another new and pretty look that the girls enjoyed from Grandma’s presents!!

I brought some homemade baked banana nut bread and Chocolate Chip Bars for the Preschool teachers to enjoy..

We spent the morning at the school getting acquainted with the preschool curriculum, the playground, the classroom, the teacher and the kids.    They had Christmas tree cutouts and the kids got to paint the trees on art easels and also cut out Christmas bows and color Christmas pages.  It was so much fun!

The triplets really enjoyed themselves and I think they are going to be very happy at this preschool.  They will go for a few hours a week.
