Almost Christmas Break!

Well, the kiddos are 'crazy'...no not mine, but the little ones at school. Who can blame them...Christmas is coming, snow, 2 hour delay, out-of-uniform day, and today we took a ride on The Polar Express. Okay, crazy isn't the word...they are thrilled and unable to contain their little selves. I would be too if keeping up with them weren't so exhausting. After tomorrow we are off for break, so it will give me time to unwind and enjoy the holiday hustle with my own family. We have no real plans, except to relax, relax, relax until Christmas. I will have a full day wrapping at some point, but I kind of enjoy the "Mom" time that it gives me and just thinking about how the kids will love their gifts makes me...well...er...'crazy'!:)

I am so looking forward to doing some scrapbooking over the break...I even have some holiday cash to spend...guess where that will be spent? While at Michael's (which I believe may be my most favorite store in the world right now) I found a really cool book by K&Co. that is all snowflakes that you punch out, embellish (it came with some embellies too!) and hang up! I am going to make one of the boys advent boxes next week be that we are making 'flakes...then we can hang them all over and keep them up even after the Christmas decorations come down.

Okay, okay, that reminds me...I have to put the Christmas decorations up before I can take them down so I must go and get that marked off my "To Do" list. Ahhhh...the holidays!

Two posts in two days!

If you happen to stumble upon this blog please keep little baby Lilly and family in your prayers. She is the newest member of a wonderful family...daughter of a friend that I taught with years ago and still keep updated about her family via their blog. Hoping that with more and more prayers she will be better and home soon.
