Animal Tales class

This year was the year I had been waiting for for Landry and Drew. Our Parks and Rec department offers great classes. alot of the classes are for ages 2-3 and this means that landry and Drew can take classes together. We took Kid lit the first part of the semester and Animal Tales the second.Yesterday was our last class.

Reece told us before we went that it was just a guy in a santa suit but when it came down to it he made him a card. Santa gave him a big hug when he gave it to him :)
