While most sane people are counting down the shopping days until Christmas, I'm counting down the school days until Christmas vacation! These last two weeks are always some of the hardest, but most exciting days of the year. The kiddos are all geared up for Santa (I told them I have a direct line to the big guy to tell him who the good boys and girls are. Let's see how long they believe me!), I'm trying to decide what to buy for the last few people on my list, and trying to finish my final project and exam for the class I'm taking this semester. But I'm sure I'll survive when all is said and done.
As for the last few weeks, Thanksgiving was great. We went to Jacob's aunt's house in Greenfield for the day. The food was delicious, and I think we rolled all of the way home! We got our Christmas tree put up and did some internet shopping on Black Friday (you'll never catch me near those crowds!)
Last week was packed with the annual Christmas program at school on Wednesday, and a holiday tea party on Thursday. Jacob's same aunt that hosted Thanksgiving hosted a table at her church's tea. It was a really neat event. Each hostess decorated their table with centerpieces, favors for their guests, and used their fine china. Our table had a violet theme, it was beautiful. We had cheesecake (mine was had chocolate, peanut butter, and butterfinger candy bar pieces in it-yum) from the Cheesecake Factory, and were served tea by the men of the church. It was really cool, and made all of the guests feel really special.
This weekend we've done odds and ends, went out to dinner last night with my parents and Laura, and spent the afternoon watching the Colts.
We'll I'm off to get my last few hours of relaxation in before its back to the madness tomorrow! Have a great week!

Best of luck on these last 10 days of school. I'm sure the kiddos are very excited about Santa and Christmas...hopefully, they remember about your direct line!
Your church tea sounds like it was a wonderful time...and that cheesecake sounds like heaven on earth!
Do you think you and Jacob will have time for a visit with us over the Christmas break? Email me if/when you get the chance.
Good thinking about that direct line to Santa stuff... I wish my students were young enough so that I could bribe them into good behavior that way!
