December Highlights, again


 Yes, we had two trees. It was my intention to have all of the Christmas crap under one tree but I was voted down. One present was too heavy to heave downstairs. Christmas was a great time. My parents came and spend a couple days with us. I got a small cold but it was quickly doused out my essential oils. The kids had a great time as well playing with their presents. One thing they loved is getting their own little tablet from my parents. It was a great buy and they have taken care of them so far. 



 The cat was a little freaked out by all this craziness. :)
 Christmas dinner table set. Eric, Erica, and Tyler came over for dinner as well. It was a delicious ham dinner with yummy scalloped potatoes. Then I made a pistachio pudding dessert. It was all good.
 
Yup there is more down here. I received this cute picture from a friend. It goes along with the Forgotten Carols song, "Mary Let Me Hold her Baby." It was nice to receive a gift that wasn't food but reminded me of the Savior's birth.  That is what Christmas is about and we remember it all up until everyone wants this and that and it just ruins the whole Christmas season and leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth of Christmas. Next Christmas will be better and less presents, right?

Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

Image
On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
