Almost Cried

So 11:15 came and went...the kids went to lunch, then recess, then specials before they came back to the room for their "holiday" party- (vom- I called it "Christmas")! We made crafts, played Christmas bingo, and ate A LOT of sweets!! As the day came to a close and they were cleaning up to leave they all are giving me hugs telling me they will miss me and then the bell rang. I felt like I was in a movie or something....as they are hustling out of the classroom I yelled "Merry Christmas!" and in unison they all yelled back "Merry Christmas!!!" It was so sweet. I almost cried. As much as I need this Christmas break, I will miss my little babies and can't wait to see what January will bring....
