December…
Tough for elementary teachers.

December…scrape kids off the ceiling..repeat
But…
We Made it!
Our well earned Christmas Break has ARRIVED!
Now the real “work” begins.
- Bake
- Clean
- Shop
- Wrap
- REPEAT
But…this work seems so MUCH BETTER!

Christmas Break Teacher Luxuries
I can’t wait to see my kids and grandkids on Christmas MORNING!
We are “empty-nesters” so Christmas is ALL ABOUT the KIDS!
As I left school…

Happy Elf
I RAN to my car & sang Christmas Songs all the way HOME!
And so… I am ready.
When Can I Put Up MY Christmas TREE?
I MADE IT!
Before I left school, I made sure I was ready for JANUARY.
Who wants to come back to COMPLETE CHAOS? NOT ME!
It will be crazy enough, I did not want to ADD to it!
So I prepared for JANUARY!
Here is my newest LOVE…

I am ready for January. Well sort of. I am tired. I want to see the SPARKLE in my Grandkid’s eyes on Christmas morning. I NEED some rest & relaxation.
After? I need a BEACH FIX! ( My HAPPY PLACE!)

The beach…My HAPPY PLACE!
WE MADE IT!
Merry Christmas to YOU and YOURS from our family!
