ahhh christmas.

a timeline:

thanksgiving was fantastic in colorado.  we loved hanging out with family and eating good food.  Samuel got the 24 hour flu.  long, beautiful drive.

back to school for a few weeks.  holidays around the world.  music, crafts, multiplication.  books, books, books.  I love seeing my students write their letters to santa.

december good times-- jazz game with a buzzer beater final shot, incredible tabernacle choir concert with nana, henry schein holiday party, family parties, music.

Samuel's birthday is on Saturday!  we have big plans for some skiing, dinner, and presents.

I can't believe that Christmas is only a few days away.  There are still so many things I hope to do: see the lights, get together with friends, make candy at grammy's, relax, wrap gifts, watch it's a wonderful life.  Maybe even greet new twin nieces?!

wishing you peace and joy for the season.
