We try to take advantage of every minute of daylight when we get home from school.
Abigail's school had their annual Christmas party. She is in the upper left corner.
Abby wanted to take a silly picture.
We have been getting quite a bit of snow lately. The girls started making a snow mountain.
My friend, Melanie, and I planned and organized our staff holiday party. It was held at The Spur on Main Street and had a "Cowboy Christmas" theme.
We combined our holiday party with a retirement party for our special education teacher,
Susan Tabke. As a former special education teacher myself, I usually get a majority of her students each year, which means her and I have worked pretty closely together in the 8 years I have been at McPolin.
After our staff party, we took advantage of having some adult time, and ventured off to the No Name with some friends. If you have watched "Blood and Oil" on ABC, this is where they filmed the scenes for the Tack Room.
On top of doing the social committee at our school, I also do the teacher appreciation committee for Abigail's school. For their holiday gift, I made these bags for the teachers and filled them with a few goodies.
My mom made the girls and I Santa suits to wear over our ski gear. We plan to go skiing at Brighton on Christmas Day (for free!).
After reading Too Many Tamales to all of the classes, our school librarian organized an event where each class learned how to make tamales. It was so awesome to see some of the Hispanic parents participating in this event.
Then they got to taste test a variety of tamales. Yum! Yum!
I got to sneak away from my classroom festivities to see what Emma was up to in her kindergarten classroom.
We had a district-wide ugly sweater day on Friday. Don't we look lovely?
Last night, we drove around and looked at Christmas lights around town. These were a couple worth sharing.
