Holiday Season

I’ve been incredibly busy the past many days, thanks to the holiday season. I’ve decorated cookies with junior high students and elementary students (if you do the math, you realize that means I’ve baked about one hundred cookies – sixty of which were gingerbread men – thank you Aunt Donna!!). I’ve taught a pecan pie baking class, made play doh to pass out at the pre-school tomorrow, which is Christmas day, hosted a potluck party for my advanced English class, made two piñatas, and organized a Christmas party for the elementary students. On top of that, our family must prepare for Solstice, Christmas, New Year’s, and two birthdays!

The reason I’m giving you a run down on what I’ve been up to is to explain why I probably won’t be writing much for a few days. I’ve got some time off and we plan on relaxing and getting caught up on some things around the house. I’ll try and post some photos every couple of days, and I promise to fill you in more completely on our holiday season when it’s not Christmas Eve.

Here’s a few photos for you:

Middle school students and teachers cleaning on the last day. I'll explain more later. These girls are cleaning the floor with rags, a common practice.
