At Seton School there is an annual tradition where the second graders get a wooden Christmas tree to take home and decorate. Then a few weeks later, all the kids bring in their decorated trees and they line them up on tables with the decorator standing behind his or her tree.
The whole school comes down to see the second graders handiwork and parents are also invited for the festivities, which includes cookies and punch.
Last year, Mary Grace did a nice job with a silver tree that had silver and blue ornaments with white mini lights. This year, William wanted to make a Minecraft theme tree, so we let him go with it. He painted and decorated the tree and the whole family pitched in to help make the "ornaments", which were Minecraft cubes.
I arrived just in time to see Santa make an appearance. The screams of excitement as he walked in was priceless!
