Merry Christmas all

I just love Christmas! It takes forever to get here and then it is gone in a flash! I wanted to share some of my favorite memories of this Christmas. It is going to be picture heavy, but I have so much to share and remember.


First of all I was so excited when we opened up the box mom sent us this year for Christmas. Mia got this wonderful Ragedy Ann Doll, and I still need to take a picture of Gavin with his Raggedy Andy. He loves it!!!!
Aren't my babies just adorable! They look like angels when they sleep.



Donovan was thrilled when he opened up his remote control car. The smile didn't lst very long. He was rather upset because Santa didn't bring anything he wrote down on his list. Appenrently he wrote a letter to Santa at his mother's house and she didn't tell us. He got a few things after christmas from his list, but they were from us, not Santa. I think he is also on the verge of figuring out who Santa is. He seemed to hint at it a couple times, and he was rather down about it when he figured out that we do a lot of things. It is just hard to hide everything, I forgot to put away the tape and Scott said something about buying stocking stuffers. Donovan was like "I knew it was you"



Gavin loves hats! He also liked his phone. I remember having one of these when I was a kid. It is nice to know the classics stick around!


Gavin loved helping decorate the tree. And undecorating the tree! And decorating the tree again!

Here is a classic Donovan face! He gave this face when he saw his batman car. He really likes it.

This is Christmas morning before we picked up Donovan. Aren't they adorable.

Christmas Eve! I should have done this Christmas Day after they opened up their Christmas PJ's and had all three of them. Hind Sight!!!



Amelia's first experience with cerial. She wasn't sure what she thought of it at first, then she just gobbled it. She loves cerial with green beans. She isn't a fan of bananas though!


Here is the only picture I have of all of them!

Good news bad news!

I've got good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?

Bad new! Okay!!! Well, I failed the flipping Spanish Praxis for the fourth time. The hardest part is knowing that I did worse, and that it was the same test I took the previous time. You would have thought I would do better, not worse! Once I told the superintendent she basically told me that she would not be offering me a new contract at the end of the school year. Great! Now I get to start looking for a new job.

Good news! I started my masters program. I am doing an online program from Grand Canyon University. I am doing my masters on Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on Reading. I got my grade from my first paper. I got 100% and i was sooo excited.

Well, tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I am going to finish wrapping gifts. Oh, last night I was wrapping gifts in between studying. Gavin decided to help me (yeah, I know, he should have been asleep so he didn't see Santa at work!!). He would take the newly wrapped gift and place it under the tree. I think he did a better job then if I had done it!
