Coming down the hall Christmas morning…
First, stockings and breakfast… then present passing. Aiden did a pretty good job passing out presents.
He was all ready to try out his Cars potty seat. Let’s all cross our fingers that it inspires him.
Talking to Mandy while she’s in Canada…
Singing Christmas carols at the Harwoods…
We enjoyed the holiday talking to and spending time with family and hope everyone loved their holidays as well!
The big blue blob is Aiden trying to hide under his covers when I attempted to wake him up. Sometimes it’s just too dang early, especially when the sun is out for such a short time each day. Am I right? I’m glad Aiden and I understand one another. After this week, we’re going to spend a few weeks staying in bed later than normal, and it will be wonderful. Bring on the winter break!
We have been so busy with so many different things, it makes my head spin, but here are a few…
Last Thursday, I got the Christmas bug. As soon as I got off work, I put on the Christmas music. Aiden and I wrapped presents and danced around to the music. When Isaac got home, he very graciously indulged me and put up the tree. We scattered our Christmas decorations all around the front rooms. On Friday, we decorated the tree and put the presents underneath. Aiden LOVED it, and he has left the tree alone since that day; I’m pretty surprised he isn’t pulling ornaments off.
Aiden’s first ornament… and mine.
We are both still taking classes and working full-time. Aiden is still in love with cars, but his love now extends to trains and fish. He can name starfish, jellyfish, sharks, and seahorses. Mostly, I have been consumed with this for the past week:
We have our first yearbook deadline on Monday. The perfectionist in me wants to fine tune every little detail and kill the students who mess up my work. The professional part of me tries to remember that this is a student publication, and I keep my interference to a minimum. This weekend, it’s up to me to get everything ready for our submission party on Monday though… wish me luck!
