Christmas Eve

I have been really glad to just chill this holiday. Rozz pretty much sums up the mood I’m looking for:

We just stayed home today. We did venture out after dinner to a candlelight organ recital at our church across the street. It’s one of our newest family traditions. Older ones are leaving things for Santa: 

And Santa being really good to us!

Cookies

The annual cookie party. I’m glad for this because then it’s a big mess with more hands to clean up and then I don’t have to make any. Thanks to those who organized, helped and hosted! We love our adopted family!!!

 

Stop Growing

 This boy got a new suit in the past few weeks. I cannot believe how grown up he looks. Any of you have a hack to slow down the growing process? I keep telling him to stop and he keeps not listening…

Thanks to Archie for portraying it so well. 

Break…finally.

One of the best days of the school year…the one right before winter break. Only had students half of the day. Got to have faculty lunch out with a white elephant gift(the first time ever one of the gifts was actually a 3D printed white elephant). 

Also got a gift from a student. First time in years. Delicious.
