School christmas partys

This year I only had two partys to attend since Cody is at Middle school. Camerons teacher emailed and said it was "just going to be his class..." which meant no parents. So I went ahead anyway! They ask us to bring food and a wrapped gift and then don't want us to come...Carters teacher was so nice and bought all of her kids presents and was so welcoming of the parents. We really like her.
