First day back get right back into the routine.  Do make them feel VERY WELCOME.   A nice little note on each desk is a thoughtful gesture something like, "hope you enjoyed your vacation",  "happy to see you today."   Don't give them the full amount of work for the routine because they have been in play mode for two weeks.  They need to be weaned back into it for two to three days then they will be good to go.  Let them discuss their vacation amongst their classmates towards the end of the day that way you don't have the excitement attached to it first thing in the morning.
