Another year older, another year flying by!

Yesterday was party day at school! It was my birthday and our Christmas party all thrown into one! I opened Christmas and birthday presents at school. It was a fun, but busy day. I got several cute gifts from my Secret Santa this week. Turns out it is my good friend, Melissa. It seems like she gets me every year!


Here is what the class tree looked like...haha! Overloaded with ornaments. My kids decorated it, of course.


I was overwhelmed by all of the sweet words and gifts that my co-workers showered with me. The same goes for family and friends. I'm so grateful for another year to fulfill God's purpose...my purpose to lift His Name high! My kids were also so precious wishing me happy birthday and singing to me. I got a charcoal gray scarf from them that I LOVE.

I spent my birthday night with my hubby! And brother!



Perfect!!

My cake!



Today was the perfect work day! It was rainy and I wore my pajamas to school. I also had a gingerbread latte from Starbucks.

Wing A kindergarten teachers (minus one that has been sick all week).


We went to a Christmas concert at the high school, then our kids watched The Polar Express. Our administration watched the kids so we could have time to take down decorations, clean up, etc. I definitely packed up my December box and got everything ready for January..and cleaned like crazy. I feel so ahead of the game now.



Tonight we are watching Eclipse in the Pickin' Shed. We had taco night at home. I am still in my pajamas. haha!


I am so glad to be on Christmas Vacation!! Pictures of my decorations, my favorite ornaments, and favorite traditions coming this weekend. We also have our Sunday School Christmas Party! WOO HOO FRIDAY!!

I got so caught up in the stress of things yesterday. Then this played in my cd player. Pretty much set me straight.

We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
100 mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind

You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more!
